Took flight from London Heathrow on a very cold morning and flew the 10
hours West towards Florida - good flight with AA (American Airlines) but all
a little rushed at Heathrow due to a new visa scheme which I had missed
completely!! Anyway arrived at the hotel which was on North Beach after I
thought it was on South Beach (nightmare) I hope my navigation on the boat
improves; we have 5 days to practice Happy Days Picture from Terrace

Picture of north beach from the terrace at our hotel - service was like the
UK at the hotel including switching the washing machine machine on last
night and getting a serious leak that on the boat would be of grave concern
and might have you putting lifejackets on and firing up the satellite
phone - not something that 30 towels would not sort...!

Went in to South Beach which we were told was a few minutes cab ride but in
fact turned out to be 30 mins + both ways and having not slept for 24 hours
was testing to say the least - we found a lovely THAI restaurant and had
some great food and then headed back to the hotel for around 10 to catch up
on some much needed ZZZZZZ

Some more pix to keep you happy!!

Now on plane to STT (St Thomas and Virgin Islands)
Weather is 32 degrees and Anna does not have any shorts or bikini;
definitely doing some shopping tonight whilst awaiting the arrival of the
boat -
Not missing London at all or work but we are only 3 days in

More news to follow when I have had a couple of Mount Gay Rums in the SUN

Take care all
