We made it

Just a quick post this Saturday morning. We had a good trip down. The flight from Seattle to Miami was delayed over an hour because the plane didn’t arrive from its previous destination because of winds, but they aided us in our flight! We arrived in Miami just a little late, but no worries for us since we had a four hour layover anyway.

The landing sequence into Miami is very impressive. The plane arcs over the ocean and you get long sweeping views of miles of coastline spotted with soaring towers and wonderful little islands with lovely homes. Sailboats dot the waters, and speedboats leave long wake trails as they speed along the coastline. Large fishing boats, and immense tankers lumber along. And wide highways carry cars and trucks across arching bridges. Quite the impressive sight!
Wheelchair planeWhen we landed, Miami airport is very nice. Wonderful shops, great restaurants and lots of art line every corridor. I’ve put up one photo of a plane, with a wheelchair for the pilot! Cute!

The flight to Curacao was short, under three hours and uneventful. There was a long line at the car rental though and we didn’t get here to the resort until nearly 5:30. So a long travel day to start the vacation. We went to dinner at the little rib shack that we’ve been to before. It was nice.

We slept a long time! Nearly 13 hours, so we’re about to get in the ocean for the first time. Talk later!
