Miami, FL

Itinerary: Calgary-Miami-Bahamas-Cayo Coco-Key West- Miami-Calgary
When: March 2008

Trip review:
Our second cruise, this time a 5 night cruise with Royal Carribean. Like with our first cruise, we extended our trip by adding 2 nights in Miami. We stayed at the Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort (for free!!), talking about highrollers! The resort was amazing, with a famous golf course, and we noticed we were the youngest people staying there:)

Simona's faves: It has to be South Beach...the beach, the sea, all the cafes and the great food we had! It was very hot, so got a bit burned only while walking. The scenery is beautiful and the city is very cosmopolitan, my favorite US city so far! Also liked the beach in Bahamas, the water had an amazing color! (but a bit too deep close to the shore). Enjoyed Key West and the lime pie, and the artsy feel of the town.

Chris' faves: Nassau's Paradise Island in the Bahamas and the Atlantis Resort. Royal Caribbean's private island in the Caribbean. The News Cafe on Ocean Drive in South Beach - very cool and they had live music. This is the last place Versace ate before his fateful walk home. Our tour of the Everglades on the airboat, watching the alligators.
