Our Miami Seashore Wintry weather Getaway

Thomas and I escaped the cloudy blahs of Virginia’s midwinter for a 3-night keep in Miami Seashore. We booked the travel after our boosters however prior to Omicron in reality took off. Have been we fearful about getting it? Completely. However we determined to move anyway, with our KN95s in hand, particularly since 99% of our travel was once open air. 

We determined to move mid-week so the men could be at school throughout the day (god prepared). Particular because of Nona and Grandpa for taking good care of Birch. (Mazen was once at his dad’s.) 

How we picked Miami Seashore

We don’t wish to fly global till the checking out necessities are lifted, in order that restricted our travel to america.

A 20 minute Lyft trip were given us to our lodge and stored plenty of go back and forth time. We felt like we have been on an island the entire time, so it was once an excellent selection! 

This travel was once unfastened!

One reason why we booked the travel was once as a result of Thomas had a flight credit score from a flight he canceled in March of 2020. So our flights to Miami have been coated via that. And our lodge was once just about unfastened because of bank card issues. Shuttle hacking FTW. (The cost of foods and drinks in Miami balanced this out – OUCH!) 

Our Lodge: The Nautilus

We stayed on the Nautilus via Arlo. 

I don’t have the most productive monitor file choosing motels, however we in reality loved the Nautilus! We selected it as a result of they’d oceanfront balcony rooms. When climate is your most sensible precedence, a balcony makes SUCH a distinction. I additionally discovered an excellent fee during the Chase Rewards Portal!

After we in any case were given to Miami Seashore at 11:00 (our flight had a lengthen) we have been ravenous for lunch.
