After boarding, we rode the bus for about an hour (? not sure, I fell asleep!). We entered into the basement of the hotel into what looked like a converted dungeon-- it is important not to let first impressions tell you what the quarantine hotel will be like, you aren't entering through a well appointed lobby!
After signing in (me with the help of my colleague at school) we got in the last line of the night and went up the service elevators to our rooms in small groups.
I took a shower and went to bed pretty quickly after the long trip and slept really well. I got up early and opened the window where I could see the moon low in the sky above a building across the way and the bright ping glow of the sun rise reflecting on another building. I did my morning workout online with my gym from Hawaii, made some coffee, did laundry in the sink (I got these really cool detergent sheets on amazon) and enjoyed the breakfast which arrives to the stool outside my door around 8.
Shortly after that there was another knock at the door and I got my second covid test in 24 hours. Again, not AT ALL painful as I had feared.
I organized my things and unpacked a little bit and spent the day chatting on the phone, weaving and after lunch, taking a nap!
At dinner time I opened my door and also had a delivery from my friends at school. Donuts, fruit, shampoo and lotion, coffee and flowers! I had a great time making little arrangements and used the pretty box from the lotions to cut out little coasters to put under the arrangements.
