We were up at 4:00am to get ready for our next cruise – an Eastern Caribbean 7-night cruise on the MSC Seascape from Miami.
We will be going to Nassau, San Juan, Dominican Republic and
Ocean Cay, their private island.
Our Delta flight was great with a 2-hour layover in Atlanta
which give us time for a bite to eat, a drink and then we boarded the plane to
Miami.
The plan was right on time, landing at 1:00pm. As the airport was under construction, we had
a huge walk to get our baggage.
Then it was just outside the door to wait for the shuttle to
take us to our hotel, at TownPlace Suites only a mile from the airport.
After checking in, Ed was a couple of blocks to the
Enterprise car rental and picked up a new Enterprise – basically just like the
one we have so that was nice to have.
We left the hotel at 4:00pm to meet our friends, Eric &
Renee Degelau and Jeff and Pam Beier at a restaurant to the west, just on the
outskirts of the Everglades. What was
supposed to be a 30 drive took 1 hour and 15 minutes!! The traffic was horrible.
We spent the next couple of hours enjoying each other’s company.
The Degelau’s and Beiers met at Corvette Adventures have
been friends since then and both couples have moved to the Ft Myers area – what
a neat story.
Back to the hotel only took 30 minutes on the same route –
so much for driving in rush hour.
Tomorrow, we plan a day at the beach.
That’s all for tonight and we are going to fall asleep
watching the Illinois basketball game.
