The bags are packed (over-weight most likely for the airlines) the patio furniture is in, the apartment is closed up and we are ready to begin our new adventure. Tonight is the Annual Christmas Boat Parade in Ft Lauderdale so the inland waterway is already packed with boats waiting to see the lights and boats and fun. I'm sure that the roads will be packed too. So our plan was to leave the condo about 7 pm for our drive down to the Miami airport. Once checked in, we'd have dinner, and then load up for our 11:30 pm flight to Buenos Aires, Argentina - our first stop.
But instead, we were ready to leave Ft Lauderdale at 5:30 pm. I think we were both excited. So I suggested we drive to Miami Beach and have dinner on Lincoln Road where there are shops, restaurants, galleries, bars, etc. We have a pleasant drive down, had a drink at Polar Bar (a fitting bar considering where we are headed) and then a fabulous dinner at Raphaels. Our waiter was French - born in Paris - and named Rudolph - a fitting waiter to experience at Christmas time. We arrived early at MIA, got parked, checked in, and went to the American Admiral's Club for drinks and to rest comfortable.
Buenos Aires is two hours ahead of us - so we are scheduled to arrive at 10 am on Sunday which would be 8 am east coast time. Our tour starts this day so I'm hoping that we can get some sleep tonight on the American Airlines nonstop flight (8 1/2 hours) instead of watching movies, eating, or drinking. We'll see. I'm sure Tim will sleep like a log while I sit there watching movies and reading!!!!
It's exciting to be headed off again on a new adventure. More to come.
