Washington to Miami
11/10/10 17:06 Filed in: USA
Up early to catch our 08:30 flight from Washington to Miami. There was a free shuttle bus to the airport and AA had a checkin desk outside on the footpath. I'm not sure why but it worked well and our bags were checked through to BsAs and Montevideo.
Our aircraft on the stand at Washington.
After a very smooth flight down we arrived in Miami, left some carry on bags at left luggage and took a bus to Miami beach.
The first thing that strikes one is the light. It is brilliantly vivid. Here we are a couple of blocks from the beach.
Parking is cheap here.
Lovely pastel colours and lots art deco along the closest street to the beach. It is not actually on the beach but set back about 400 metres behind a sand barrier and gardens.
Miami beach.
Blue sky, turquoise sea, white sand and Nancy.
This is the closest I have been to seawater for quite a while.
Later we took a bus to downtown and wandered around a bit. There is
Downtown Miami at the waterfront...
...and later on in the evening.
Back at the airport we found that the left luggage facility closed at 21:00 instead of at the 23:00 indicated on the airport web site.
We missed it by 7 minutes an it would prove to be an expensive error.
