I’m in Florida!
I’ll start from the beginning - the flight, which would be boring to write about had I not been in first class!
It was awesome. Completely flat bed, metal cutlery and for lunch a big fat juicy steak on a proper plate, with a tablecloth, salt and pepper shakers, nice roll and curls of butter not those plastic ones you get back in cattle! Oh and free champagne!
I sneaked a few photos before the plane doors closed and I had to turn off my phone! I was right in the nose of the plane, below the pilots.
The flight was delayed for a few hours because George Bush was landing or taking off - grr. He caused a queue of 10 planes! Then they decided to close the runway to prepare for VIP’s that weren’t arriving for 2 days! We took off in the end though! Got to spend more time in first class though!
I still maintain my hatred for Miami airport. Its not nice at all! I had bad experiences there when I was coming back from Honduras.
We collected our hire car, a big fat giant beast of a thing - it used half a tank of petrol going from Miami to Marco island - I could do that on a quarter of a tank in my car!!
We stayed one night in a hotel in Miami, right on miami beach, I’d include photos but my dads camera refuses to cooperate, just imagine me on a wooden boardwalk next to a lovely beach :D
On Saturday we drove around Miami a bit then headed for Marco island. We looked (as in drove :P!) around Naples for a while before heading to our house. We were dithering because we were supposed to arrive at 4 but it was 2 and supposedly there were cleaners in the house.
The house is massive. Its very ‘floridian’ in its decoration!
Yes thats a giant paper mache parrot! Its horrid and it keeps looking at me :S!
The jacuzzi is lovely, so is the heated pool! Shame the plates/cups are plastic and that we’ve found two (dead) cockroaches and I’m sleeping with the raid by my bed! I hate bugs!
We’ve not really had a chance to look round since we got here. We’ve been to the supermarket and thats about it - today the real holiday begins! :P
SO jealous about first class. I’ve always wanted to fly first class. The house looks beautiful too! Shame about the weather though! That pool/jacuzzi would be AWESOME on a cloudless day! The location right on the water looks insane too.. SO jealous while I’m sitting at home ’studying’ for exams!
wow, I’m officially in love with that house! It looks like a great place to be :D
Bah, I’m jealous!
OMG, i am SO jealous, first class!
But pffft, they should’ve just kicked george bush out O_o. And your house looks gorgeous… pool in a conservatory :D
Wow
that place is beautiful. Lucky you!!!
Wow! First class looks pretty sweet! The house is so nice, and the pool is so cool, outside, but inside. Pretty sweet!
Lol at the fake parrot! I can imagine how that would freak you out!
Wow, that house is gorgeous! First class looks a lot better than normal classes… Not that I’ve ever been on a plane that has a difference!
Hey eruAnna! Love the trip! Every bit of it! From the pictures, it look slike you had an excellent time!
Sorry about that. I meant Han as your name and eruAnna as the site name.
