Miami to Grenada

Made it to Miami.

Now sitting in another airport lounge! At least it is quieter at this one and decidedly more pleasant. Looked at doing a trip into town or beach to have a look around but decided not to bother. I have spent a couple of days in Miami before so thought it would be easier to relax at the airport. So much for a spirit of adventure.

Strange how being online keeps you in touch, at least peripherally. Sitting here whilst it is 12:30am at home on 28 January and I have gone back in time to 8:30am on 27 January. I got x2 Australia days. Not that anyone here really gives a toss about Australia day!

Freaky Australians getting off the QANTAS plane in LA with their Australian T-Shirts and even Australian flags waving. I am not demonstrating cultural cringe, just cringe at w**kers (can't swear as Alex and Siobahn in Tokyo may be reading this - hi guys).

You probably know about the big Cuban influence here, even airport announcements are made in Spanish as well as American. I think I might wander down to a Cuban restaurant at lunch time. Sigh, only another 8 hrs to go until my flight...

  1. So what sort of food do they have at Cuban restaurants? Glad all is going well. Was pretty bad here for A day too - talk about jingoism. Turned into an excuse for racist rubbish. Luckily it was also Chinese New Year so we celebrated that instead with Chinese lunch on Monday (although it was a really bad restaurant that we managed to get a table at). Try and take some photos of the towns over there - would love to see them.
