Mail Forwarding Confusion

Morning Rush Hour

We made it out to the Berlin post office today and found that the items we were waiting for in Boonsboro were actually here.  The reason for the confusion – items from the same address (the pharmacy) that arrive at the mail forwarding service are only identified as items from the pharmacy.  Because of privacy laws the mail forwarding service does not open packages. They will open mail and scan then post the image so you can determine what you want to do with the item.  The downside is that we delayed our adventure a week waiting on mail that we thought was important but, in actuality was not.  Live and learn – we will now take certain mail and have it forwarded as traceable so we are not stuck in the waiting game.
While we were out and about we hit the local visitor’s center for postcards and then found the local Ram dealer to schedule 30,000 mile maintenance.  The service advisor said I could get an appointment tomorrow and quoted me the price.  The look on my face must have given him some concern because he started to explain, in great detail, everything that went into the maintenance.  I didn’t want to tell him that I was shocked because in Connecticut it would take about two weeks to get an appointment and the same service is twice as expensive.  So the two weeks that I booked here at Assateague was more than enough to accomplish the mission.
Now to start planning the trip south – and then west.  Also dealing with the congested traffic patterns (See top photo) along with all the unexpected company.
