Reflections of My Travel

Today, we took our time checking out of our very welcoming accommodations in Key West and headed back to Miami. We managed to get into town just in time for Friday rush hour – I so don’t miss living in a big city! We put down the convertible top and cruised South Beach a bit,

scouting for a hotel. It didn’t take us long to decide that we didn’t want to pay South Beach hotel prices so we made our way to the much more business-friendly airport area and checked into our old standby, Holiday Inn Express. You always know what you’re getting there. We were both pretty darned pooped but, as luck would have it, there was an IHOP across the parking lot so we feasted on a dinner of breakfast – my favorite!

We had every intentions of making it an early night so that we’d be fully rested for our cruise embarkation tomorrow but when we started repacking all of our luggage, we discovered that all of our towels, bathing suits, and snorkel paraphernalia reeked. So here we are in the guest laundry room of the hotel at 22:00 at night, waiting for our stuff to dry so that we can go back to our room, pack, and go to bed.
