Rare sid_9169 Posted May 24 Author #129 Share Posted May 24 Even after all these years, still one of my favorite views in all of Miami... The Brickell Arch, The Four Seasons Hotel, and the curved building whatever it's called... 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 24 Author #130 Share Posted May 24 (edited) Over at sunset harbor on Miami Beach at Stiltsville Fish Bar. Buffalo fish wings and a crab cake slider incoming. Also Patron Anejo straight... Edited May 24 by sid_9169 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 24 Author #131 Share Posted May 24 I guess this is why they call this neighborhood sunset harbor. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to Dominican Republic a few times, and honestly it's among my least favorite ports. I'd even go so far as to say I'd put it down there with Nassau… You just made the Dominican Republic sound like the most attractive port in the Caribbean!😃 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"C" went to find her hotel and get settled in. Pretty soon I'm going to need something to eat and drink. You are traveling with a "stuffed" companion now just like @Saint Greg? 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKR2011 Posted May 24 #139 Share Posted May 24 Welcome back, Sid! I'm happy to hear that you're taking some time for yourself and reviewing mostly Jeff & Patti style.

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 25 Author #140 Share Posted May 25 She wanted to go somewhere else to eat in Miami Beach, so now we've been looking for a place to park for 45 minutes. Finally found a spot, but you have to use some kind of app to pay... I'm about ready to just head back to the hotel... 12 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 25 Author #143 Share Posted May 25 Just got done sitting in a traffic jam to beat all traffic jams... An hour to go THREE BLOCKS... The absolute biggest cluster you know what I've ever seen. Back at the hotel finally, and I'm done for the day... I wish I could have been in bed a half hour ago, but it didn't happen. Anyhoo, I'm ready to get my butt into bed and on the ship tomorrow. That's it for me tonight. Shomer shabbos... 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underrated advantage of a cruise vacation-once on board no travel, no parking, no traffic. No re-packing, multiple check-ins/checkouts or bus, uber or taxi-those darn elevators though😉 Edited May 25 by Stallion 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 25 Author #147 Share Posted May 25 After a pretty unremarkable nights sleep, I'm up and at em on this Saturday morning cruise day. Seems like it took forever to finally fall asleep, but I guess that I did at some point, as I remember some wild dreams. As soon as I awoke, I went down to the lobby for a cup of strong black coffee, but to my amazement there is NO free coffee whatsoever available here. I went over to the regular giant aluminum coffee thing and poured myself one of the very small cups, and a lady comes over and says "oh, by the way coffee isn't included in your stay, that'll be $2.50"... Of course I just set it down and walked away. I walked over to the check in desk and asked someone over there, and they said indeed that there was an additional charge for coffee. I ended up walking over to a nearby Starbucks and paid $3.50 for their biggest cup of black coffee and headed back here. After the fiasco with the traffic jam last night I was hoping everything would be reset this morning, but the CitizenM Brickell put the kibosh on that... Anyhoo, in a few hours hopefully I can put all that behind me... 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 25 Author #148 Share Posted May 25 I walked over to Publix for a survival breakfast and a bottle of water... I'm assuming that if there's no free coffee here then water is definitely out of the question. "C" is supposed to pick me up at 9:45, so I'll slowly start getting ready soon. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely hate the idea of having to download an app and enter credit card information for what amounts to a few dollars, while also having my info out there on some random app... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Viewer Posted May 25 #150 Share Posted May 25 Memorial Day weekend is crazy busy in Miami/ Miami Beach. When I lived on the Beach I always left town for the weekend. Palm Beach or St Pete were usual destinations for a relaxing weekend where you could actually get restaurant reservations! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
