Hello from Miami!

Despite the storms and rain, we are having a great time in Miami! It was a spontaneous decision on Sue's part to take an offer from Northwest Airline she thought she could not refuse. In realty, it was really the thought and attraction of spending time with the Meiser's that takes the three of us to Miami. Both Anna and Jenny had been counting the days since Sue booked the tickets. This is the first time mother and daughters going anywhere without the boys.
We arrived at Miami airport on time yesterday. Due to the severe storm, we had to stay on the run way for a while before they could connect us to the gate. Once we arrived, we ended up waiting more than 2 hours for the luggage!! Sweat Miriam was afraid that I would get lost so she met us at the Alamo rental car place. I followed her to their condo – a temporary home while they are renovating their house. I have to say that I was very impressed with the condo. It is like a luxury hotel from the outside. The free use of club house, conference room, business center, pool and hot tub are just a few extras that come with the lease.
It was so good to see the Meisers again. It has been more than 5 years since we were here in Miami with them. The girls disappeared instantly in their new play room – a huge closet in the girls’ room. Before Miriam and I could have a chance to catch up, the girls conducted and performed two dress-up shows for us. They were so cute! We stayed up so late that we ended up not going to the hotel and spent the entire night at the Meisers. Poor Chris, he had to sleep on the sofa – but rumor says he really loves that sofa
We had change our original plan of going to swim or to the beaches because it was another rainy and stormy day today. We decided to go bowling and going to see the movie “Gong Fu Ponda”. Kids had a great time doing both. When we walked out the movie theater, the sun came out. It was upper 80 degree!! With no hesitations, we headed right to the hotel and spent the rest of the evening at the pool and the beach. The hotel we stay is right on the beach!
Kids did not want to separate themselves from each other. There is another sleep over at the Meisers for the girls. At the same time, I am enjoying an evening all by myself walking on the beach. It is still 80 degrees at 10 pm. Nice!!!
