3-31 Miami and South Beach

Our time is running out, and getting around down here is difficult for us spoiled Southern Californians.  The freeways are a mess with lots of construction, and drivers are incredibly aggressive.  Yes, this SoCal driver did say that!  I've seen more people cut off and flipped off over the past few days.  So we opt not to go to the Everglades and instead do some laundry and head down to Miami to check out the beach area.

We found the Art Deco area of South Beach, and it probably took us more time to find a parking spot than it did to have lunch and walk around (note strong German sarcasm).  The beaches are beautiful and were quite crowded as it's spring break season.  That means lots of young scantly clad bodies floating around, many that were a bit intoxicated.  It was quite a site.  OK, back to the buildings, which were beautiful.  But I think their real beauty is displayed at night with all the neon lighting.

That was about it for our day.  On our way back to FLL we stopped at LensCrafters to have a nose pad replaced on my sunglasses.  Oh, you're probably not too interested in all that housekeeping stuff.

Well, that's it folks.  Tomorrow we board ship around noonish.  And set sail around 3.  Check back occasionally.  I'll try to post an update somewhere along the cruise. Neighbors are sitting outside.
