Destination One: Miami

So, I have four and a half weeks till the travel adventure begins and I thought it would make sense to go through some of the main places I am going to and what I want to do there.

Miami, Florida is my first destination and through the three months I am going there three times (mainly a gateway to other places). I have been to Miami twice before, 2010 being the last time with my Grandad, Shana and Larry, it is a very fun place to be with a constant buzz of people primarily around the South Beach area with people on rollerblades and a lots of motorbikes around the front promenade;


When I went it was quite wet and humid, but the temperature was nice allowing us to hang on the beach even with the rain clouds (something I could never EVER do with the north sea lol!). When there we went to Versaces house, although I had my photo taken there, I didnt realsie he was actually shot there, so here I am laughing and taking photos in the place a poor man was shot dead =S;


When Ben and I go, we plan to simply head to the promenade, have a walk, grab some pancakes with Maple Syrup (yum yum) and head back for our very very early 7am departure to Lima, Peru =D. But when I come back late Septemberm heading to my Grandads house, I plan to spend  a little more time there; I have been invited to look around the Miami Childrens Hospital where they have a Radio Lollipop branch (a charity for which I work) and I also want to have a look around the university (never hurts to have a look around, assess potential future opportunites ;-) lol). The cruise ships there are huge! the new Freedom of the Seas (worlds largest passenger ship) is moored there so I fancy goign to see her and have a brief look around....one of my dream hols! All in all I am not going to be in Miami for long, just a few visits but im looking forward to them as Miami is a very exciting and interesting city =D (32 days to go!)
