I've had no access to internet for the past few days so will catch up now. We caught a cab out to LaGuardia - only about 15 - 20 minutes and booked our luggage through on the kerb! That's right - you hand your luggage over to a kerbside check-in guy and you're in business! We're off to Miami and some warmer weather, and it turns out ot be everything you see in the movies! Multi-laned roads across vast expanses of water into Miami with the horizon a mass of hi-rise buildings. We are booked into The Tides which is in Ocean Drive in South Beach right on the beach! The room is huge with a great view across the water... a very 'resort' style look, as you would expect....after checking into our room we head downstairs for our 'welcome' cocktail, sitting out the front of the hotel where you can watch the world go by. We've been tearing around in the cold of New York so it's very pleasant to just sit back in the warmth and watch the passing parade and our one cocktail turns into several :(. Lots of beautiful gay men, bare chested latinos scooting passed on their skateboards (yes....I said skateboards), cruising in their convertibles and hardly a pair of white pants in sight!
We meet a couple from the Gold Coast, Julianna and Charles, who are not only staying in the same hotel but also boarding the same cruise! The night is somewhat of a 'write-off' but the next day we head off (after I have my spray tan) for a reconnaisance. The architecture in South Beach is beautiful 'art-deco' and a place I could have spent a little more time in, but maybe next time!
