Only 16 days left till we fly to Florida for our 2 week vacation. Just a few days ago I booked our first 3 nights in South Beach, FL. We have our plane tickets and cruise paid for, but until now we haven’t decided what we are going to do before or after the cruise. So basically we fly in MIA and are going to get a shuttle or taxi service to take us to The South Beach Hotel in Miami Beach. We should be just a block from the beach and right in the middle of everything according to reviews I have read at tripadvisor.com. If you are planning to stay at a hotel anywhere, I strongly recommend checking tripadvisor to see real photos and reviews of the place. If you want to read some really scary reviews about a hotel, look for the Ramada Miami Airport North. It is the cheapest place I could find ever. There was even a coupon on travelocity to make the total 3 nights with rental car $230.00! I still want to go stay there with Nate and take a video camera to document the horror.

So the hotel we picked was going for $109 a night on hotels.com and some other sites I checked. I kept looking at it for its good reviews, price and location. All of a sudden the price jumped on every website (or the hotel became unavailable) to $394.00 a night! I was feeling pretty bitter about not booking it already until I found the 109 price still in effect on skoosh.com I have no idea what this website is or how long they have been around, but it worked. They have a no fee cancellation policy up to 3 days before, so i thought why not?

We are getting pretty excited for our vacation to say the least. We have bought new clothes and bathing suits among other things.

On the cruise Vanessa and I decided we are going to make up some games that we can play with the eight people we are going with. Maybe a digital camera style treasure hunt or some other games are in the works. We will have to share some photos online once we get back. It is going to be a blast!

My lunch break is over at work. Cya.
