    Still sorry that your plans got scuppered. I know i would be distraught after all the planning and expectations. I just hope and pray you and your good Lady can redeem some smiles to get over this stupid virus.
    God Bless.
    Joe.

    Late to the thread. Great news you’re feeling better Littleade.
    Hope you feel better soon Oldschool, and the COVID hotel is better than camped in the suite

    Quick update here:
    We got off the boat and had booked a hotel near Miami Airport where we now reside.
    I booked the hotel on line and the cruise company had agreed to take us from Fort Lauderdale to this hotel. Obviously I omitted to tell them that we had tested positive a few days ago and we needed to isolate further with them . We had a private transfer organised by the cruise company and
    The funny thing is, the driver of our private taxi sounded worse than we did. He kept coughing and opening the window.
    He was dressed in a surgical white coat and medical gloves.
    We hadn’t told the new hotel we were positive and didn’t want to turn up looking like Covid cases. . So I asked him if he would mind taking his medical jacket off before the hotel….
    He got out at a set of traffic lights and took it off . I’d just tipped him $5 before I asked …
    We’ve got checked in and face masked up we’ve settled in ..! We’re in the gardens miles from anyone and I am pretty well over it I think .
    The missus is 90% over it . Fly home Tomorrow evening . Will do a lateral flow test in the morning but should be ok to travel as the restriction have gone …
    Phew.
    Will be glad to be back home..!

    HOME !
    Thank Feck .
    To snow…. Left Miami in bright blue sunshine to a mini blizzard here. One last word on this trip . American Airlines … Never again ..! Oh and some passengers on aircraft are just the most inconsiderate people . But that’s a whole new thread ..!

    Great you got home safe and sound (finally). :)
    Looking forward to seeing you on "Rant of the day" - it's been a bit quiet there for a week or two.

    Pleased to see you made it home.
    Some people are inconsiderate on any form of transport. Nature of the beasts I’m afraid.

    American Airlines is the Ryanair of the Americas :rolleyes: Have had many experiences of them unfortunately, luckily all paid for by work but wouldn't give them my money out of choice : unamused:
