After not making any foreign trips in 2017, we decided to start 2018 with a trip through the Panama Canal. Miami is our embarkation port, a warm place to go in the winter.
The day before we left Houston for Miami, Houston had a snow/ice event that closed both of the airports. The morning we left (January 17th), the airports were open, but the highways were icy and we had trouble getting an Uber driver to take us to Bush Airport. When we did get to Bush Airport, it was a "Mad House". Long lines were everywhere. People were trying to re-book their flights from the previous day's cancellations. We were able to navigate the lines and get checked in OK. Our flight was suppose to depart at noon, but our flight was delayed until 8pm. Fortunately, we did leave that day, arriving in Miami at midnight. Eight hours late.
We spent two days exploring Miami's "Little Havana". Fortunately, our hotel was centrally located so we could walk where we wanted to go.
