The Conrad Miami was the meeting point for guests flying in to Miami. (American Airlines has nonstop service from San Francisco to Miami. ) It was overbooked, so we actually stayed at the J. W. Marriott, two blocks away. Either hotel could be anywhere as far as you can tell from this picture --- no sand beach in sight. |
| Blazo on our balcony on the Queen Mary 2 (QM2). The Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) is in the background. She was starting her round the world cruise on the same day from the same port. |
| Mary with the QM2 in the background. |
| Again, Mary in front of the QM2. These two pictures were actually taken in Rio de Janeiro, our first port of call, where we had time in port to take pictures. |
