The Trip

Things got off to a rocky start Saturday. Went hunting for the cell phone to take with us to Miami, and yup couldn't find it. After tearing the house and the car apart, we just had to leave and take DH's phone. The ride down Hwy 27 was nice, the sun was coming up as a big red ball and the white fog was just starting to rise up off the lake and swamps.

There again things got dicey as we hit I-95. DH wanted to go south, but I told him that we needed to go north and much ado He went North. He still wanted to get off and turn around cause we didn't see our exit, he held on and the next exit sign showed our exit. Now we was to call the kin folk as we got into Miami, but yep, forgot the number.

Went to the motel that they was staying at and ask for them. The clerk called but it was check out time and no answer. As she went to check the room, found them in the parking lot loading up. Whew!. After eating breakfast, to the water taxi to sight see. What was to be a short walk ended up as a 3 mile hike. Saw the homes of the "rich & famous". Also got to see some of the yachts. I was pointing out one of the cruise ships and said "Now that's a big boat!", everyone was quick to tell me "That's not a boat, that's a ship!". Big deal, it on the water that makes it a boat in my book.

Instead of walking back, we stop at a cafe to eat. Had them call us a taxi to get back to the motel. Getting 5 (large) grow-ups in the cab was a sight to behold. Made for a good laugh for everyone, the driver included. Even the birds went quite as we poured out the cab into the parking lot of the motel. After hugs and good byes we all left. Kin folks for the airport and us back here. Will post some photos after I have downloaded them for the camera.
