Final view

Day of departure.  Woke up at 6 am to have breakfast and head to the airport for our flight from Miami to Toronto.  This was the view we had that morning.  The downtown Miami skyline is stunning at sunrise and I love the purple lights on the bridge.  Lovely last scene from the ship before we headed home.

One thing I have learned is that I'm not a fan of Cruise ships.  I'm more partial to Resorts when it comes to travelling in the Caribbean.  Two of our destinations (Grand Cayman and Cococay, Bahamas) were cancelled due to poor weather conditions, so there are no guarantees with Cruises.  The only cruise I might consider is an Alaskan.  I'm sure I could get some fantastic photos in that part of the world.

Frozen Iguanas

Photo 9/365: My favourite highlight from Miami's Saturday morning news was a warning to locals to watch out for falling Iguana's.  Today was chilly with a high of 8 degrees Celsius.  The cooler weather had caused the Iguana's to go into hibernation and dropping from wherever they had been resting...mostly in trees.  Locals were being bombarded with the critters which I later found out are a bit of a nuisance in Florida.

We boarded the Celebrity Century Cruise ship to set sail for Grand Cayman in the hopes of reaching warmer weather soon.  As you can see by my mother's face below, it was quite cold.

Below is some of the storm we went through on our first night at sea. I loved the way the ghostly mist rolled on the surface and I tried to capture it as best I could.

Miami

Photo 8/365:  This is our view from the Hyatt Miami in Florida.  We arrived around 4pm after hours of delays and travelling from Toronto.  The room was gorgeous and I was pleasantly surprised with the view of new condo development (I love architecture).

Below is a picture of our view at night.
