Day Zero, Saturday - Departure

Actually, this day started on Friday. I completed the check in for flights via the internet and had boarding passes in hand on Friday morning. Friday afternoon the phone rang and it was an automated call from American Airlines saying our flights were cancelled due to the weather (ice and snow) that came in. Our flight was supposed to leave at 6:20 am. We finally got out of Colorado at around 2:00 pm. We arrived in Miami at around 11:00 pm and checked into the Intercontinental without any problems. Got something to eat, and slept well after our adventure of getting to Miami. The Intercontinental is a beautiful place with very nice accommodations. The beds are wonderful! We woke up in the morning to a sunny sky, slight breeze, and Freedom of the Seas tied up at the port.
