Happy New Year from the COLD USA!

This is turning out to be an odd holiday for us.The weather in Pasadena for the Rose Bowl Parade was great. The day after the parade, when we went to view the floats, it was 76 ' F, so SUMMER. We liked Pasadena, and could have spent a week there. We just took in the parade and floats, doing very littl...

Left Wauchula on a frosty morning, and drove about 3 hours south to Markham Park and Range, a City Park in Sunrise, Florida (about 20 minutes or so from Ft. Lauderdale) that is managed by Broward County. The park includes a huge "Bark Park" for where dogs can run free (and it was PACKED this afternoon, even though it was windy and cold); and a ...

We arrived at Miami International Airport by late morning. From there, we took a shuttle provided by Carnival cruise lines to the port where our ship was. Once at the port, we passed through US Customs, and waited for about an hour in Carnival's very fancy waiting area. We boarded the ship around 1pm, I think, and pretty much headed straight for...

Miami Beach, Florida, USA 06/26/2009-06/29/2009

I planned my Miami Beach trip with my gf and stayed at the Albion Hotel, which was right by Lincoln Road. There are endless amounts of things to say about Miami Beach. It was beautiful, loved the laid-back style, the weekend night life, the shops and the beaches. Upon arrival, the hotel was ...

Nine hour flight seemed like a long time. Customs man at Miami airport quizzed me why I was traveling on my own and asked if I'd get lonely, I suddenly felt very lonely.

Got the J bus through Miami, which looked like a dump, then waited on my own for an hour for the connecting bus to take me through Miami Beach to South Beach. I missed my...

Miami-Lima flight totally uneventful and easy; Miami-LAX, a different story. After some grilling by the customs agent as to why I was in Peru for such a short time, traveling alone, and lacking Spanish skills, I was waved in and checked into my connecting flight to LA for my friend's wedding. At the gate, my stomach wasn't feeling too hot, which...

POLSKI: Wysiadłam z samolotu marząc o jednym: łóżku. Droga tamże okazała się być jeszcze dłuuuugaaa... Najpierw całe wieki czekałam na bagaż, który nigdy nie nadszedł. Gdy ogarnęła mnie już lekka panika, usłyszałam swoje nazwisko w głośnikach lotn...

So today we finally got out on the road. After resigning from the only job I ever had on Monday 8/28, I planned on us leaving Tuesday 9/5. I guess I've never experienced packing up a house before, and it took a week longer than expected. Our neighbor Jeff was cool enough to act as our property manager (we are renting our house for the next year+...

12:15 - Next destination, Miami, FL. We woke up at about 10:00 and we all showered and watched Sportscenter. Oh yeah, last night we watched some of MacGyver. I haven't seen that show in probably a good 8-10 years. When I got out of the shower I smelled bacon from inside of the house! They made us breakfast. We had strawberries, cantaloupe, bacon...
