Our flight to Miami was brief and uneventful. We only has time for one round of drinks, and we didn’t even get to finish our DVD! We landed ridiculously early, but arrived in the middle of some rain showers… So we had to sit on the plane for 15-20 minutes waiting for other flights to take off and for our gate to be clear.
Eventually we got to the Crystal Beach Suites on A1A in Miami Beach. The place is right on the beach, has a Subway sandwich shop right outside the front door, and has two liquor stores and a grocery store within a block. And a kitchenette in every unit!
This place has a pool, a hot tub, an apparently awesome fitness center (I don’t know the difference, of course) and the ocean right outside the back of the resort. I foresee a wonderful couple of days here, with a mixture of relaxation and craziness.
As an example, we spent awhile this afternoon sipping grocery store beverages and enjoying the hot tub downstairs. We took a walk along the beach with our feet in the ocean. And tonight we’re finishing the DVD we started (“The Day the Earth Stood Still”) and taking it easy, as we prepare for a day full of mischief and mayhem tomorrow.
I’m on an adventure in a new city with some wonderful friends. Life is good.
