We're off ....

Headed out about 6:30 Thursday - clear sailing on Rte 81. We stopped in Watertown at Panera Bread for a bite of supper and arrived at the Holiday Inn Syracuse (Liverpool) at 9:30. The Park and Fly setup here is great - 30 days parking with your overnight accommodation, and a shuttle service (we're about 15 minutes from the airport). Note to Holiday Inn - your hotel is very nice, the staff wonderful, but you don't have enough coffee in the room for two people

Our flight is Friday morning about 10:15 a.m. - short hop to Washington Dulles - even shorter time to switch planes - and then on to Miami. Our accommodation there is at the Holiday Inn Express by the airport. They have arrangements there for a shuttle to the Port of Miami ($10 or less per person). Streets and Trips shows a 15 minute ride from hotel to ship. Looking forward to getting on board and putting the travel behind and just relaxing for a week.
