Time for a New Ship

 This year's birthday cruise is on another ship we have never sailed before, Oceania Cruises new ship, Vista. This will be 12 days in the Caribbean, many of the ports we have visited at one time or another over the years.

We've been quite busy lately and are looking forward to relaxing on this voyage. Not many excursions booked, but we do plan to at least wander around the port towns to find some picturesque or at least interesting things to see and for me to add to my pen and watercolour travel sketchbook.

We've already arrived in Miami - I've even been too busy to get the blog set up before we left - for a day before we board the ship. The view from our room at the Hyatt Regency downtown:


A not overly exciting view of the Miami River at Brickell Avenue. Also not very busy, but it is 7:45 a.m. on Saturday.

We'll be wandering around a bit today, doing a little shopping for things we can't get at home, and will visit one of our favourite restaurants here, Truluck's, for dinner. It is only a 10 minute walk from the hotel.

We hope you enjoy following along with us on this - I can't call it an adventure! - meander through the Southern Caribbean.
