Music in South Beach...Day 5 of our cruise!

Trying to find a way to fit music in with our Carnival Cruise and I did want to mention the music that we heard everywhere in Miami South Beach. I found it quite annoying as it was a computer-generated disco sound emanating at ear-piercing levels from the majority of stores and restaurants in South Beach. I was amazed that most people seemed to be immune to it but it drove me batty!


Meanwhile, we slowly made our way off the cruise ship on Friday morning, bidding adieu to the warm azure waters of the Bahamas. It was so wonderful to be with my children and their husbands for 5 full days and after saying good-bye to Julie, Allison, Tom and Will, Liz and I stayed on in Miami for another couple of days. We went to see a movie one night and did a lot of walking in the South Beach area. We had some fabulous seafood and desserts and also were just amazed by the Art Deco hotels and restaurants. The coconut palms were everywhere and the atmosphere was totally international. I met three different Italian families that I was able to talk to about my upcoming trip to Italy. Stay tuned!
