I feel like a new person. I originally woke up at 5am, saw a text from Greg that he was headed out for a run, I wished him well and I promptly rolled over and went back to sleep.

When I finally decided to actually wake up I was greeted with this text from Greg.

I wasn’t positive whose phone it was, turns out it was Logan’s and despite his brand new Apple silicone case it was confirmed dead by the authorized Apple dealer they took it to. Originally it would turn on but that quickly stopped working. It was going to take 5 days to fix which isn’t an option due to our travel plans.

I’m very close to an Apple Store so after I get myself going I will head over to see if we have any options. The coffee options in this room leave a lot to be desired.

While I’m very appreciate of the ceramic mug and stainless steel spoon I could have done without instant coffee. To make things even worse I accidentally made myself a cup of decaf.

After my lukewarm cup of instant decaf convincing Maddie to get out of bed we were off to the mall. Turns out this is the mall the girl was referring to yesterday.

The Apple employee was not confident a U.K. phone would work due to the difference in SIM cards. They actually still use SIM cards here vs the states where it’s an e sim. Plan B it is which is to buy a phone in the states and to ship it to Jake to bring over with him. I think that’s a lose/win for Greg because he also forgot his mouthpieces that he wears at night so those can be brought over too. Let’s hope Jake doesn’t mind…he hasn’t been asked yet.

After Apple, surprise surprise but I’m hungry. Time to find a proper coffee and some food. There was a French breakfast place in the mall so we stopped there.
