Hotel Clifton Miami Beach

... Beach. Check in wasn't until 3:00 so we had some time to kill. Humm what should we do?? Exactly pull over and go for a swim, and that just what we did. We stopped at Hollywood beach and spent a few hours taking in one more beach before we all had to say good bye to Florida. 3 o'clock rolled around so we made our way to the Hotel, unloaded our things, made some road soda ...

Cruised into Ft Lauderdale early Sat morning. From here we transfered to the airport for our flight back home to San Francisco. We got to the Airport around 10 am and our flight didn't leave till 4 pm. Arrived to San Fanncisco around 9 pm. Loong day but happy to be home.

Or was it??

Snitch flew down & met me at our hotel, which is where we have stayed for 3 days.... the decisions we had to make:

When to go down to the pool
Which bed to sleep on
When to turn over
When to go for a swim
When to have a cocktail...

It has taken some serious thought!! Just in case you can't picture it I've added some of my own!

Missing you all...

... and go to sleep!

We jumped on the train to the hotel. The weather couldn't have been more different to Miami, but it felt weirdly comforting being wet and windy and reminded us of home. We arrived at the hotel (fortunately our nicest hotel yet!) and jumped straight into bed, only waking a few hours later to grab some dinner, before returning back to bed for some more sleep. We slept with smiles on our faces as we were so excited and relieved to finally be in Chicago.

... of Europe within 35 days (he must reckon himself a bit of a Michael Palin) and planned on travelling until 2011, or until his money ran out. I fell on an old lady on the bus as it turned a corner and it took all my strength to drag myself back up again. The bag and I were on the start of the decline of our friendship at this point.
I've been to Miami before, there's not that much to do apart from eat, drink and pose or in our case, people watch. My ...

... The musicians were also, surprisingly, common friends I met from surf competitions sponsored by my company back in Hawaii. They are beach bums like me and we ended up sleeping on the beach under the stars. Talk about roughing it. Saturday melted with Sunday with another party coming to life and I was soon headed back to Hawaii nursing a throbbing headache. In the ...

... buzzing; with all the neon lights on etc. it's just like GTA: Vice City. There's lots of different Music playing as well along the street, lots of Italian stuff.

Whilst I was sitting down enjoying my Shisha I saw the first person with a gun, it was tucked under their jeans with their shirt pulled behind it so it was clearly on show. Somebody told me the law is that you're not allowed a concealed weapon, so if ...

... a shrimp dish that was suspect, and she also thought that there were more than 60 affected, although we had heard nothing prior to the captain's announcement. In any event, we were given the website [www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp] which will have the results of the investigation in a few weeks. Anyone can go to that site and bring up the CDC inspection reports on all cruise ships which dock at any time in the US. http://www.cruisereviews.com/NorwegianC ...

... 324;ski. Poza tym były jeszcze krowy, kaczki, konie, kury i... mnóstwo błota. Mario był przemiły, zawiózł mnie do pubu parę kilometrów dalej, bo spytałam czy ma wodę do picia. W nocy usłyszałam mysz. Biegała naokoło mojego łóżka i robiła hałas. Nie żebym bała się myszy, ale nie chciałam, żeby wskoczyła mi do walizki, a tym bardziej na ł ...

... to do the Everglade tour as it was only $39. Although I found out it wasn't a long tour, I was hoping that it would be somewhat worth the $39. It was. Not. Quickly had a Kerry/Bush update, 254 to 252, crazyness. The bus was a half hour late. Oh well, it happens. The bus driver, then having picked up the rest from the other hotels, began with 'ok folks, i dunno how many of you are gonna be doing the city tour this afternoon but for those of you who aren't, I'm gonna ...
