March 13th. Flying to Miami to join our 11 day Holland cruise to the Eastern Idlands of the Caribbean.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: We are a little anxious about our coming and going to Miami to meet our cruise ship. As of today, we are a month in to a war vs. Iran. Oil shipments are stopped at the straight of Hormuz, gas prices have shot up. We are also a few months away from a Trump war in Venezuela, which has affected travel in the Caribbean a little. And, I'm sure, American's aren't liked anywhere at this point.
Oh, we are also 4 weeks into a government shutdown. So TSA folks are not getting paid. So we expect delays at the airports.
Our country is a mess!! Thank you, Donald Trump!

Our Uber arrived at 4:00AM as ordered. We sailed through the Boise Airport and arrived in Seattle on time. Got on the plane on time....then the trouble started. It was 55 degrees when we left Boise, lightly snowing in Seattle! Problem was, the de-icing crew got way behind. We sat on the plane for 3 HOURS waiting to get de-iced. We finally left only 3+ hours late.
Once in Miami, we easily found the hotel (Embassy Suites by Hilton) shuttle bus and finally got to our room by 9:00. Decent late dinner in the hotel restaurant. Then to bed!
