Welcome to Miami...











Well... finally made it through to Miami! Plane one hour late, arriving 6.30pm local time and then... what a nightmare. Miami International has to be the WORST airport I've ever been in. So eventually grabbing all cases (nearly an hour later) fighting our way through customs... and then it's join the queue to catch the bus to the hotel! So around 9pm, eventually into the hotel.. a beer and it's bed time!

Next day rather than pay some stupid amount for the Intercontinental breakfast, it's off to a diner for some American breakfast in a diner. Nice! Then off for a walk around downtown Miami. Sunshine, 82F or 28 deg C - is this real?

Then back to the hotel to wait for the bus to Fort Lauderdale. We go the bar (again!) for a lunchtime sharpener and meet Jen from California - we have a couple of drinks and then last to get on the bus which leaves for Fort Lauderdale at 2.30pm.

Then.. what a nightmare to get on the boat! You've heard of piss ups and breweries, well this took the biscuit! So virtually last on the QM2, we eventually get on board and in the cabin for 5.00pm before eventually leaving port at 6.20pm Tuesday local time... more later...

PS. These PCs have blocked their USB ports. Sounds like Nationwide?!? It means no photos unfortunately... how rubbish is that?!? Will be speaking to someone in higher authority!!
