We woke up at 3:30 a.m. in our Los Angeles, California hotel room. After being shuttled from the LAX Parking lot, where we left our car for the week, we arrived at LAX at about 5:00 a.m. Everything went smooth, including my search for Dramamine at the airport. Our flight was smooth and on time. Between the medication and a great flight team, I was actually able to read and sleep while in the air.
We arrived in Miami, Florida and phoned the hotel to request our shuttle. As soon as we saw the van that picked us up, Matt and I both became concerned. We had picked a hotel that was reasonable priced off of Expedia. We figured being in Miami for one quick night before our cruise would mean little hotel time so we did not put much thought into our choice. We made sure it offered airport and Port of Miami shuttle and we hit "book now". Lesson learned. Walking into the lobby we immediately experienced a unique smell I know I will never forget. Walking into our room, just felt gross.
Matt and quickly put our luggage down and went out the door. Miami here we come. What?!?! Wait! We were not by anything that resembled what we had pictured for the night. We found a mall. Ate dinner and shopped for a while. The initial plan was to see a couple movies so we did not have to be in our room.
Eventually the long day caught up with us. We bought a candle at Bath and Body Works so I would not have to struggle through the smell in our room all night long. Then we got online and changed our hotel that we would stay in after the cruise. Silly us. We had booked both stays with this same hotel. It would be hard enough to have our cruise end. Can you imagine how I would have felt knowing I had to go back to that stink hole?
