This is my second cruise. It was me, my fiancE and two other couples; Berna & Max, and Liz & Jeff. This was Berna & Max's 4th cruise and Liz & Jeff's 1st cruise. John and I went down to Florida early. We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale on Wednesday the 2nd, rented a convertible Mustang and visited with some friends. On Thursday, we drove down to Miami to meet up with Berna & Max. We stayed at the Holiday Inn in South Beach. We just wanted something on the beach that was cheap. It actually wasn't all that bad...it had the basic amenities. That night we went to Mangoes and the Clevelander in South Beach. Loads of fun...loads of drinks! Nothing like starting the vacation off early. Berna and Max went to the Everglades on Friday and unfortunately lost their new digital camera somewhere. They went out and bought a new one. Ouch, that hurts! At least it wasn't at the end of the cruise where they would have lost all of their memories.
