      2023 Holiday CruisE - The AmerICAS & THE CARIBBEAN




DAY 5 - MIAMI

12/21/2023

After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, we went out for another walk.  Our first destination was the Intercontinental followed by a visit to Bayside Marketplace.  Unlike Brickell Centre with its high end stores, Bayside has many stores and restaurants oriented to the many tourists that visit Miami each year. In fact, from end of October 2022 thru end of September, 2023 the port welcome 7 million plus guests.  

On past visits we usually spend part of a day in South Beach but decided not to visit this week. Also, we normally go to one or two Miami Heat games during our stay but the home schedule was limited, and we didn't want to go to a game tomorrow evening the night before we board Serenity.  We would have made an exception for the Dallas Mavericks or the Boston Celtics though.  LOL.

Continuing with yesterday's weather patterns, it was windy for portions of the walk but still a delight to be outside and to take in everything around us.  We even had a few minutes of rain showers.  Welcome to Miami.  

We also saw signs of Keith's former company MCI on another section of sidewalk. 
In the afternoon Keith took a nice long walk to find a location and take some photos for a friend and then he stopped off at the JFK memorial.

After returning to the hotel, we both took one more walk.

It's been another fun day in Miami.

Cheers,

Hi Keith and Anne Marie. My knees are envious of all the walking you do. Curious if you put in as many miles per day while at home. For Christmas I would love a large dose of motivation, please.

We've cruised Crystal only once, pre-pandemic. We are considering cruising with the "new" Crystal and I figured your blogs would show us what that looks like today. Thanks for doing this for us. Hope you had a great Hanukah and have a very Merry Christmas.
