USA 2016 – Florida and New York Day 10 – We’re heading to Miami!!

With a tinge of sadness, we leave the Keys today. As mentioned in previous posts, we definitely want to return. We couldn’t have hoped for a nicer hotel for our last stop out of the Keys. The Amara Cay resort while not the cheapest we have stayed in has probably been the most luxurious. The … Read more USA 2016 – Florida and New York Day 10 – We’re heading to Miami!!

Another day and another hotel checkout. We had two nights at the 24NorthHotel but it was time to move one. We had a couple of aims today.

Woke up early AGAIN! With Suzanne and Max still snoring away. Breakfast included in the hotel today, so it was off to reception where it was served.

USA 2016 – Florida and New York Day 5 – To the Everglades

Because we managed to find ourselves asleep by 9pm last night, we woke at 5am, trying desperately not to wake Max too who was tossing and turning on the other double bed. Eventually he woke at 6am. The plus side was we were all showered and dressed by 7am, and checked out and in the … Read more USA 2016 – Florida and New York Day 5 – To the Everglades
