Royal Poinciana Inn Miami Springs

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.

... are concerned, we will follow Rick's suggestions of the Residêncial Florescente in Lisbon; Pensão A Maré in Salema, Algarve; Pensão Policarpo in Évora; Ribamar Hotel Restaurante in Nazaré. We are a bit hesitant with Rick's recommendations in Coimbra, and decide by ourselves on the Casa Pombal. In Cascais we have the use of our Brazilian friend's lovely waterfront apartment. We go online and ...

... we fly, another stop has been added in Bogotá. Result is a dreadful ten-hour flight, which normally takes five hours non-stop. C'est la Vie. Once paid, we can't opt out. The flight from Miami to San Jose is 2:40 mins. From San Jose to Bogotá is 2:10 mins and Bogotá to Lima is 2:55. That's 7 hours and 45 minutes in the air and 2 hours and 45 minutes on the ground. Ugh! For ground services I start looking online for budget accommodations, but Cecilia suggests ...

... was with Europcar! Is this globalization, or what! Good savings here, as we had calculated $400.00 total. The final amount was only $266.11. We are now $20.11 under budget. Now for the train ticket from Paris to Monte Carlo.

The dispatcher recommends we call another company. That's a lot of help! We call another firm, but are told that it is almost impossible to get to Miami Springs in time due to a bad accident. By 5:30 pm we are almost ready to throw in the towel, when who should turn up from the beach but our dear ...

The family trip to Paris and the South of France is to be organized entirely on the internet. With the help of guidebooks loaned from Miami Dade Libraries, we create an itinerary with three days in Paris, overnight train to Monte Carlo, then rental car through the French Riviera and Provence followed by an overnight drive to the Loire Valley and return to Paris by way of Fontainebleau. 10 days in total, Friday to Sunday ...
