The Magic City

Made it safety to Miami late last night, amidst hoards of spring break airport goers- a few ridiculous setbacks, and a plane delayed on the runway while we "wait for the maintenance guy to bring some engine oil". Taxied to Miami Beach and our interesting apartment rental. There was some lost in translation instruction from our host, Ramon that escaped us the first time and I found myself trapped behind a police gate having to climb a parking ramp wall to get out. Did finally figure out how to retrieve the keys only to use them on the wrong apartment-  fortunately the nice young gal who greeted us with shock was very forgiving. Settled into our small, very clean and comfortable European style apartment at nearly 1:30. Woke today at 7 for a nice walk on the beach and up to the rental car agency to get our car and off to the Keys!
