Arrived in Florida, No problems...almost.

So it begins. the trip to Florida was uneventful. We left on time from TVC then from DTW. weather was just fine for travel. (yawn) travel is such a burden.
Well, maybe it wasn't all sweetness and cream. While on final approach to Miami international the Hostess announced that all electronic devices must be turned off. Deb had to ask if digital cameras were included. "Yes", she said, "and do you want to know why? The battery may explode if you have it on during take-off and landing because of the pressure change!"
So during landing i took pictures. No explosion.
After we landed the hostess asked everyone to stay seated after we got to the gate. "No arms, elbows or bags in the walkway, please". Finally, a lone passenger was escorted off the plane. Not sure what that was all about but i did feel a flush of heat when i thought maybe they were coming for me cause i had an electronic device on and took pictures!
Then to top that, we had to stand in 75F degree heat and waited over an hour for the hotel transport. It was grueling. Fortunately, Deb and i weathered this horrific heat well!
Our room has the Miami 500 right outside the window. Cars and motorcycles, i swear, were topping 90 miles an hour. Zoom, Zoom, whinnnn, Zoom.
This morning we had the continental breakfast offered by the hotel. A tasty cup of coffee and the smallest muffin, not english, i have ever seen. Of course there is a full menu to choose from if you want more. Since this is about cheap and not luxury we opted for the small muffin and will hope for better once we board the ship.
Waiting for the transport to take us to the Port of Miami and the long ride back home.

  1. Good thing the camera didn't blow up on the plane so that you could take pictures of Wizard.
