My weblog

It's almost here!!!!Posted: 01/11/10 @ 9:09 am By: Steve Hoffman

So I'm writing to you the morning of...our CRUISE!  We're as ready as can be for it, although I still don't have jogging worthy headphones, but I'm not running 5 miles to best buy to get a pair so I'll deal with my noise cancelling ones unless I can find something on the cruise or one of the ports. 

We enjoyed our day in Miami.  We hit a "dive" from the TV show 'Diners, Drive-ins and Dives' and despite it's exterior...and interior...and service...the food was awesome!  Only one of us got a show featured meal and it was more then any two of us could have eaten.  I think it was called the 11th St Diner, it was actually shipped down from it's previous location in Wilkes-Barre, PA...I think I may have eaten at it there too..if it used to be near the Social Security Building on Wilkes-Barre Ave.

I'm sure Miami is a great town, but the cold weather didn't lend itself to much walking so we drove a lot and saw everything from the car.  We did stop a bit to do some shopping but there wasn't anything that anyone had to have so we got out cheap.

The highlight of the night though clearly was Joni's trip on a Metro Mover...she gets a little too excited about riding on a subway but since it was free, I couldn't not find a way to use it.  We ended up taking it to some ocean front shops and ate dinner at Bubba Gumps Shrimp.  Since we already returned our rental car, we were really at the mercy of public transit and our tolerance for cold...it was that or Chilis since all the other local restaurants were closed due to weather...yes, that's what I said. "CLOSED DUE TO WEATHER".  I was shocked to see that some of these places have no indoor seating...none. 

The night ended on a 12 pack of beer and a few mini bottles of wine and today we're up and at 'em ready to board...in 5 hours...

Raining Posted: 01/09/10 @ 11:45 pm By: Joni Hoffman

Today was a cold, rainy day in the Keys. We didn't do much of anything as it was too cold to do much outside. We did drive all the way to the top of the Keys so that we could say that we drove from one end to the other.

Key West Posted: 01/08/10 @ 9:52 pm By: Joni Hoffman

After we finally got up this morning we headed out to find some breakfast. We found a local place called the Wooden Spoon. The food was great and the price was better. Then it was on for the 2.5 hour drive to Key West. You gotta love two lane roads with limited passing zones! Although it was kind of cool to drive through all the islands and see the view from all of the bridges.

Tomorrow is the day! Posted: 01/06/10 @ 11:10 pm By: Joni Hoffman

So, we just finished packing for our trip. I got enough stuff (clothes, shoes, diapers, toys, etc) for 10 days for the three of us in one large, one medium, and two carry on bags. I don't know how I did it but since the first bag that each of us check is $20 each and the second checked bag is $35, we didn't want to check more than one bag each. I have to do a couple errands tomorrow and then we'll be ready to go. I am going to try and leave a little early but probably won't be out until 4. Zack is already so excited to be flying on an airplane tomorrow. Let's just hope it all goes smoothly. By this time tomorrow night we should be in Floriday on our way to Key Largo!Read Comments(0) | Leave Comment
