Back to Miami

Back in Miami we headed to a shopping mall as we waited to check in to our airbnb.  We found a Chick-Fil-A restaurant at the eatery that daughter L really wanted to try.  They don't yet have these in Toronto.  We enjoyed the food.  They are very generous with their sauce packets and soft drink refills in the U.S.




We left the mall and went to a Publix supermarket near the airbnb to get milk and essentials for the next few days.  Daughter L found these chewable soft mints and she remembered we loved.



We were delighted to find that they had given us the same apartment in the condominium complex that we were assigned prior to the cruise.  In hindsight it was a good idea to reserve the same airbnb for before and after the cruise.  We were already familiar with the location and all the rules concerning parking and so on.

My sister from California stopped by that evening with this 'Verve' coffee from California.  It is smooth and delicious.  They enjoyed the tour of the airbnb facilities.



Our great niece was due to arrive that night, everyone was so excited to meet her. There were a couple of extended family parties planned for the next day where she would be introduced.

I love crusing but it is always nice to get back on land and/or home!

Looks like you had good food and drink. As I looked at the coffee I could suddenly smell fresh coffee - I wasn't imagining it, my neighbour next door is evidently making coffee with the widows open! Hugs, Valerie

It sounds like you had a great trip. If someone gave me a bag of those mints I'm afraid I would eat the whole thing :-)

Such a great trip!

Geraldine said...

You certainly packed a lot of places, experiences into this trip. Good for you Christine!

I refuse to eat at Chick-Fil-A restaurant due to their policies against LGTBQ people, same reason I wouldnt shop at hobby lobby due to being against things due to their religious beliefs. i know i wouldn't make them any money to make a difference but its important to me

Christine said...

I had heard they didn't open on Sundays due to their religious beliefs. Good for you Jennifer. Well I did stop drinking Fairlife milk due to their animal abuse videos.

Jennifer Rose said...

thats good you stopped drinking that milk, cows are not always treated the best
