… one of the sentences which felt quiet often the last couple of days. yes, i’m back from florida … and it was just awesome! once again we started in the early hours of saturday (4am). i had to pick up deniz, evrim and ozgur (all 3 from turkey) at their apartment in plainsboro before we drove to newark airport where our plane left at 6:30. this time i decided not to sleep the hours before, which was quiet a good decision i still think.

after the 3 hour flight with continental we arrived at west palm beach international airport. unfortunatly the weather was not too good, with lots of wind and some rain – but this should change soon. we rented a car (Pontiac Grand Prix) at National and drove directly to South Beach Miami, where our hotel was located. yepp, this time a cheap hotel and not a hostel like in Boston (*brrr*). of course we went directly to the beach, as our time was short anyway and we couldn’t wait for the wind to stop. the water was really warm and we had a lot of fun till evening.
afterwards we went home for refreshment and changing clothes before we went to dinner and spent the night in the city. nightlife in miami is really great and we all enjoyed it.

after some few hours of sleep we drove on the next day to the very southern part of the states, Key West. the trip took us about 4hours and it was interesting to go from one island to the next one on our way there. After checking in we again went to the beach, watched the (famous) sunset and went out.

on our third and last day we went again for a short stop to ocean-drive at miami before we finally returned to the airport where we landed. the plane had 1 hour of delay but luckily one of the stewards was from turkey and made our stay in the economy class ‘more comfortable than usual’ :-)

to sum up: it was a lovely, sunny weekend – a bit expensive but maybe a once in a lifetime chance to go there.
the pictures are online, this time with a lot of snapshots from the nightlife, cause that’s what florida is famous for :)
