Dear All Greetings from back in London! On a Sunday morning I arrived back at Heathrow Airport after what turned out to be an incredible two-week journey around the US state of Florida. I enjoyed it immensely, and arrived back with the darkest tan I think I’ve ever had – they don’t call it the sunshine state for nothing! I spent my last two nights on this journey in the amazing city of Miam... Read Full Entry

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

Downtown Miami
Beautiful modern architecture, water glistening and lots of palm trees. Miami is a very diverse city.

Art Deco buildings
I love Art Deco architecture so I am sure I would like Miami. The building in the picture is simply awesome. I love all three of the "Arts" by the way: Art Deco, Art Nouveau and Art Garfunkel. /Ake

Art Deco
Lol, that's funny - the three "Arts"! I'm sure you'd love Miami South Beach then. I very much enjoyed my wander there, taking in such amazing buildings and architecture 😊

Bienvenida a Miami
For most people Miami is a city they really like or really dislike - there is not much in between. There is a large number of Spanish speaking people in the area so it is a great place to practice language skills. The irritates some Americans especially when they are in the airport and can't find someone who speaks English. We didn't ask where you were staying in the Miami area- yes you picked a nice location. We have not seen robot waiters .... I guess we need to go to Miami! I love your descriptions of this vibrant city. If you thought it was hot in April I'm glad you didn't visit in August. Personally, I think we need to move past the Cuba issues of the past and build relationships. I loved reading this blog and getting caught up on the rest of your trip. We enjoyed meeting you and look forward to you coming back to Florida. You will enjoy California next year. Happy travels.

Miami
I think I'm the kind of tourist who really likes Miami. It was definitely different to other US cities I've been to, and as they say seems to have one foot in North America and one in Latin America. I'm very glad I wasn't there in August! I completely agree on the need to move past the Cuba issue now, and enjoyed learning about Little Havana whilst there after having spoken about the issues with you earlier on my trip. I very much enjoyed meeting you both too, and look forward to returning 😊 Thanks for reading, and following on for the rest of my trip 😊

Art Deco
I love the art deco architecture in Miami! I had to laugh at your comment about Denny's (they are very common here and honestly, not considered that great, but glad you liked it!). What a wonderful trip you had to Florida!

Art Deco and Dennys
Ah, very interesting about Dennys! I'd never heard of it before this trip to Florida, but I just loved it as I love the classic American diner! 😁 Miami's Art Deco very much lived up to my expectations - very cool! Florida was amazing, and meeting up with MJ and Dave was my highlight. Thanks for reading and commenting 😊

Welcome to Miami
Thanks Alex, I have that Will Smith song stuck in my head 😂 Miami looks a cool place. I did visit briefly as my stepdad drove us through. I did know they spoke Spanish in those parts of America but didn't realize that some people there could be no English what so ever

Welcome to Miami
Gosh, now that song is back in my head again too 🤣 Nice to hear you also briefly visited Miami. Yes, lots of non-English speakers there, it was a benefit being able to speak Spanish.
