SoBe baby! On an early afternoon flight from Oakland to Miami I find my self walking out of the airport in the humid air raw with the smell of concrete and traffic in MIA… FL has been hit HARD by 2 hurricanes with one more expected any day now… Hurricane Charley first around August 13th and then came along Hurricane Frances around Sept 5th. So what am I doing! Hurricane Ivan is scheduled to hit maybe Sunday, while I’m still in Miami! but I’ve never been in a hurricane before so this should be interesting, however, unfortunate I have more my rain gear with me than beach wear on this trip
I’m in jeans, a linen collarad shirt (festive or tourist, I didn’t care) and ready to drink! The Keys are being evacuated as I catch a disgrunteled cab driver heading in the opposite direction of his home. Deal asshole, I pay you to drive where I need to go and it just so happens I have to prolong this trip, there’s a wipe out of an accident taking the whole northbound freeway and I’m sitting in the back as the cabby takes me through the swamp to get to my hotel: The Doral Resort.
!!! Opps!!! This post was never completed… oh well… it started out bad but I know it finished well as I left with out the hurricane taking me down… Next time!
