MIAMI WELCOMES US

Friday, January 30, 2009
Sunny, hot, 75 F; turned cooler by late afternoon after a little rain

Getting off the ship was easy and organized. We were at our car by 9:45 a.m. at the Hampton Inn. Drove to Hilton Garden/Airport in Miami-about 28 miles. Spent the afternoon reorganizing our suitcases and doing laundry. I’m not sure if I will be able to write daily on the Carnival Liberty. We had a lot of on board credit that paid for the Internet on the Grand Princess/$.40 a minute. I may write every other day, it depends.

As we anticipate our next two cruises, we are thankful that the Cruise Triathlon is not over! We do certainly miss our dear family, but we have kept track of the daily weather. Erie is in line for having the snowiest winter ever. From our local ABC TV station: Erie has “officially made #7 for snowiest Erie winters with a total of 122.6" so far. Number 6 is 124.9" from 1985-86. We need about 27" of more snow to make 2008-09 snow season the snowiest season in Erie history.” 1/30/2009

This is a good year to be traveling further and further south! This experience will give us a great chance to compare three cruise lines, a resort, traveling by car and visiting relatives.
