MIAMI
MIAMI
We had dinner and a movie in our room last night and neither of us slept well. Norma was up at 4:30 and I joined her on the balcony at 5:30. It was still dark as we sailed past the Miami skyline which was quite beautiful all lit up.
We had breakfast in our room and prepared for the usual travel experience of 'hurry up and wait'. We waited an hour past the scheduled departure time just to get off the ship. Then we had to wait on the bus for it to fill. Then we had to wait while all the American Airline passengers got off before we were driven to the Air Canada terminal. We learned that our flight to Toronto has been delayed because of the ice storm. We hope the ice has turned to rain by the time we land in Toronto. I managed not only to get frisked at security but my bag was set aside for further examination. Turns out that I had put a bottle of water in an outside pocket of my suitcase that I had completely forgotten about. Of course, this happened after everything had been turned out of it and I asked the attendant what where they looking for. When she said a large bottle of liquid, the penny dropped. With a smile, she sent us on our way. We are now both enjoying a drink in the lounge but I saw they had a New Zealand Savignon Blanc and couldn't resist. Norma is sipping on a Baileys and has decided that she will spend the night at my place.
