Baymont Inn Miami-Airport West

I'm really Horrible at this blog thing - so so sorry - BUT i am in MIAMI and it is absolutely amazing.

It is very cultural here and i feel as if i am on a holiday within my holiday. There are little market stalls all along the streets, restaraunts everywhere like in europe, the beach is beautiful and the weather is so tropical.
I ventured into the amazing ocean yesterday - the water is a beautiful crystal blue. The sand ...

I finally went to Walmart today and bought a new camera. Its a Sony Cybershot DSC W220 12 MP 4x Optical Zoom digital camera.

Pretty nice. And I like it a lot too.

I slept well last night and got up late this morning. I can afford to.
My uncle went to work, I presume at the boatyard and my sister prepared something for lunch.

I realize that my vacation doesn't really start until next week. Then, I will have more freedom to do things since I have a check for $4600 coming from Wealthy Affiliate. They're sending it in ...

Scrutinizing, comparing, wiggling, tweaking and abusing the Internet, we realize we can probably accomplish the trip close to our budget of US$ 1,500 each, all inclusive. Our final total expense is, in fact, US$ 1,573.14, excluding theatre performances, adding US$ 131.37 to the total.

Swiss International has good connections and price. The fare of US$ 675.00 is well within budget. We hum and we ha. When ...

... a muddled lost area which has a charming atmosphere of people loading boats to head for the Caribbean. Pricey yachts drop anchor there.

Luscious seafood restaurants are extremely popular. Probably best to avoid Little Havana at night though.

Haulover Beach is good for surfing in the breaks between 5th St and South Pointe.

A good swimming beach is on 85TH Surfside and has lifeguards.

Calm beaches are around 53rd Street and around ...

Met two of my english friends from back home in Miami airport - they were looking out for me but missed me, so I crept up on them!! We hired a car and drove to the Condo we had rented for the week, (yes I am still on a backpacker budget!!) Went to the Everglades and saw Aligators plenty of them and also held a ...

March 20th, Friday - Ft Lauderdale to Miami Today opened bright, sunny with light winds. Boat is beginning to dry out from the rains of the past two days. Over coffee in the cockpit, we decided to make a run for Miami - we'd be that much closer and the weekend was going to deteriorate. We called Coral Reef YC to see if they had any availability and they did - so that ...

... is the best arcade at sea, with a fittingly huge number of games. Prices however are a bit excessive - cheapest game at 75 cents, most at least $1.45 per play -- and it would be easy to amass hundreds of dollars in charges per kid by week's end. Youths can play bingo (with a parent or guardian) for free -- and they can win too, with only a parent's signature required at the Explorations desk to collect the cash. On our cruise, a young'un won the ...

I left Jack and Barbara on their boat at Hilton Head about noon and took some back roads to get to Savannah. I was sure I hadn't been there before but when I got into town more and more things looked familiar and I remembered that Suk and I had toured this town a few years ago.. That's the wonderful thing about growing more mature (I love that word), every day is a new experience!!! After a couple hours of roaming around I took another back road south and late in ...

Left Miami with my parents at 6:35PM and connected in Atlanta. Let that sick in for a moment. We have just flown north to connect so that we can then fly south! The plane left Atlanta at 10:05PM and we arrived in Santiago the next day at 9:30AM and met up with Shelley and Damian.
