It was a long journey to Miami, surprisingly the flight was almost 9 hours long. Took 45 minutes to clear passport control; as we left the airport terminal, the temperature was very warm (27 degrees C). We decided to jump in a cab to our hotel as by then we were tired and the heat was getting to us.

Checked in to our hotel and was so glad to have air-con in the room, we freshened up and headed out to South Beach. As we acclimatised ourselves to the heat, we mooched around near the beach and found a few places to relax. We had a few cocktails and a nice seafood platter; headed back to the hotel, in bed by 9pm.
