Today was spent travelling. We arrived at New Orleans airport at around 8:30am. The Hotel we were staying at was deciding whether to close or stay open as the Tropical Storm Isaac approached – there were only 100 (out of a possible 500) left in the Hotel this morning as we were leaving.
Our plane was still on time and due to leave at 12:35pm. As it happened it was a little late. The pilot told us on a number of occasions that the flight would be rough even though we would be going around it. The flight generally was fine with no excessive turbulence.
We reached Miami at around 4:00pm. It was overcast and had been raining heavily. When we arrived at the Hotel it was so humid my glasses fogged up as soon as I got out of the taxi. The weather predictions are for good weather in the coming days.
We are heading out to the everglades tomorrow so that should be exciting.
No photos today – should have some tomorrow. Will report in tomorrow. W
PS – US Open started today (and Kim Clijsters has just won her first round match).
Thank you for the lovely photos and information. It seems you have been away for such a long time now. Happy that you are well and enjoying your time together. When ready the blog we are transported far away to places that I can never see Peter and I travelling to. I think Melbourne is our limit for travel. Look forward to seeing you there soon.
Dear Robyn glad you are enjoying the trip. We have been away a long time but there is still more to see. It will be good to catch up when we return. We look forward to catching up (in Melbourne) when we return. Wendy
