First Impressions on First Arrival...
We had been here before so we knew where the arrival desk was located and we knew that we had to check in at the Guard Desk to get our parking assignment and access codes... so, none of that was a surprise to us... and we knew how the condos were numbered so it was a simple matter of finding the right road that began with our number group. But, what we did not expect was that the keys that we were given did not work... and, the office manager that came to our rescue brought over about 6 different sets associated with this property and none of them worked either.
The office manager knew the condo had been inspected and the cleaning crew had gotten access so our very apologetic office manager called the crew, found out where they were and went to retrieve the key. That key worked but we have gone into 90 minutes of wait time after our initial arrive. We unpacked the car and got things situated inside... now we are waiting on the office manager to return with our new set of keys... and the waiting time before we can do anything has jumped to over 2 hours.
We were not in a hurry this morning when we left Montgomery, Alabama where we spent the night to break up our 8 almost 9 hours of drive time... but, in the course of conversation with the office manager, we heard that our unit was good to go yesterday which mean we could have gotten into our condo upon arrival.
The weather forecast changed and we arrived at Destin in a barrage of afternoon showers which were not predicted yesterday or the day before when we checked... however, Mother Nature can never be held accountable for anything that she does or does not do for vacationers.
