We left Islamorada on Saturday, Dec. 27th for Miami Beach. We checked into our hotel, Eden Roc, in the afternoon. The newly renovated hotel boasted an expansive lobby complete with a bar and seating for plenty. It featured one indoor and one outdoor restaurant, two pools, and a boardwalk that paralleled the beach. The rooms were nice, but we were surprised that there was no free wi-fi. We decided it was ridiculous to pay the $15 a day the hotel asked just so I could check my e-mail, update the blog, check Facebook, and surf the web. For Blake and I, the remainder of Saturday was spent taking advantage of the free HBO. After dinner I went for a jog on the boardwalk and went to the hotel's fitness center to lift.
Sunday, Dec. 28th, was spent doing pretty much nothing. Dad and Blake took the car and drove north to Dania Beach to the International Game Fish Association's Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum. I slept late, went to lunch with my mom, and watched more television.
Also, the decision was made on Sunday to fly home on Monday instead of Tuesday because my father's cold that he picked up in the last couple of days in Islamorada wasn't getting better and the mom felt we were getting frustrated with the living situation in the hotel (the four of us were sharing one room.) So we checked out of the hotel the next day and left for the airport. We caught a 4:30 p.m. flight out of Miami to Charlotte, where we then got a connecting flight to Hartford. We left Charlotte at 7:40 p.m. and arrived in Hartford at 9:30 p.m. We were home a little after 11:00 p.m. and that concluded our vacation; our Christmas in the Keys.
