Joining the Bugs' Lives!: Week off: Florida Holiday!!

Sorry for the much belated update! As we settled in Atlanta, there has been much going on and I yet have the time to post an entry until now.

Anyway, first off, I must warn you: SPOILER ALERT for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

Florida was amazing!! Great weather, good food and been a relaxing and exciting holiday at the same time.

Itinerary:

Day 1--Arrived in Fort Lauderdale. Unpacked and headed to the beach (1.5 minutes walk). Explored immediate area.

That way to the beach! For real~

Before: "I'M PASTY!!!"

Sun kissing

14" Pizza at a Italian market/restaurant for lunch

Day 2--Breakfast by the pool. Packed lunch and off to beach for a few hours. Drove to Miami for the evening and dinner (40 mins).

Gaz driving on the other side of the road + car.

Miami South Beach!!

Mmm our delicious seafood dinner by the beach.

After dinner, we walked on the Lincoln Mall (outdoor shopping strip) which was very interesting.

Day 3--Set off to Florida at noon (3.5 hours drive); straight to Cirque du Soleil - La Nouba to pick up key from Claire. Outlet mall for 2 hours. La Nouba at 9pm.

Yayyy road trip

Gary's melanin working(trying?) hard under the sun

Getting too hot in the sun, must soak legs in cool water.

Day 6--Breakfast by the pool. Packed lunch and off to beach for a few hours (I know.. beach whenever we can, because Gary desperately wanted to go from this to this but he only achieved this. Meantime, I'm already this on the first day!!) Watched The Social Network in the Cinema.
