My days at the lovely Commodore Hotel are coming to an end.
Hooray! because I am closer to getting to Antarctica, but Boo! because
we are moving to the Breakfree Hotel and continuing quarantine there. I
have heard rumors that some rooms in the Breakfree don't have windows. I
think I will actually go insane if I don't have a window for the next 5
days.
The Commodore Outdoor Time schedule is posted on channel 100 of our room TVs. Usually, there are 3 time slots per day (before breakfast, after lunch, and after dinner), and you can choose to go out as much as you'd like. The outdoor time area is two parking lots. Not very exciting, but at least we get to have some fresh air. It takes me about 2.5-3 min to complete a full lap around both lots.

| Parking lot #1. The garden on the right is what I see from my hotel window. |
 |
| Parking lot #2. Not many people were out this day. |
 |
| There's a nice tree in parking lot #2. Too bad we can only walk circles under it. |
 | |
| A giant red rectangle that reads "Exercise Area is currently closed". WHYYYYYYYYY???? | |
The red rectangle stayed up all afternoon. It was very disappointing 😞.
Luckily, I don't have to rely on the unreliable outdoor time schedule for exercise. I rented an exercise bike, which I've been riding during zoom trainings.

Enjoy some more pictures of delicious food from the Commodore (what I ate yesterday):
 |
| Breakfast: Mushrooms, eggs, baked beans, hashbrowns, a kiwi, and the best orange juice ever. |
 |
| Lunch: Pulled pork and onion/mustard sauce on Turkish roll with garden salad, plus a brownie filled with toffee pieces and raspberries. |
 |
| Dinner: Baked fish, roasted potatoes, and coleslaw salad. Dessert: chocolate cake and ice cream with whipped cream, strawberries, and caramel. |
Featured in the lunch and dinner pics: Our lunches are delivered with a cute little daily newsletter from the hotel. It reminds you to drink water and go outside, and the back has fun puzzles (I've been doing a lot of sudoku). My favorite puzzle was a math crossword puzzle; it was genuinely challenging and I had to break out excel to solve it.
We check out of our MIQ hotels tomorrow morning. I've got to repack all my bags and place them outside my door to get loaded onto the bus tonight.
A nurse just called to let me know they'll be doing health checks as early as 5:30am tomorrow to get us out of here on time... Hopefully everything goes well! I'll post next from the Breakfree Hotel. Fingers crossed I have a window.....
