Tyson and I flew out today. We are on our way to Florida for a cruise to the Bahamas with my family! We got to the Florida airport and caught a bus to an IHOP restaurant for breakfast. The food was delicious and hit the spot after being on the plane for so long. After we ate, we caught a bus to downtown Miami so we could get to the port. We walked around and found a CVS Pharmacy to get razors and a few other items we needed and then we started on our way.
We got to walk through a lot of downtown Miami with our suitcases. We walked past the Miami Heat stadium, which Tyson enjoyed. I wish I would have gotten a picture for him, but I didn't think of it at the time.
We also walked past "The Torch of Friendship" that was dedicated by Miami for our neighboring countries friendship with the United States. It was dedicated in memory of John F. Kennedy and was really cool to get to see. I was very glad that we decided to walk around downtown.
When we got to the bridge that leads over to the port, we found out that there wasn't a way for people to walk to the port. We walked back to an area where we had seen multiple cabs and got one to take us over to the port. WOW cabs are expensive!!
We met up with my family where we had to check in for our cruise. The building was packed with people going on different cruises. We went through security and waited in line to check in. When it was finally our turn, we gave our passports, drivers licences and check in information to the lady behind the desk. I was so excited to get on the ship. I have never been out of the U.S. and I was excited to have the opportunity to explore a beautiful island. We got on board a while later and got settled in our rooms. We got to explore the ship, to see what there was to do while we were on board. We got to see all of the buildings along the coastline as we left the Port of Miami. Some of those homes were huge and there were a lot of office buildings as well.
And we're off on our new adventure...
