Miami, FL (USA)

This trip seemed so short. More traveling than watching the race (still worth it!). Up at 0600L today - finished packing, quick snack before driving to airport. LOTS of traffic on FL-826, but we made it to the car rental return with two hours to takeoff (gas fillup in fully Spanish speaking neighborhood). It took us over an hour from that point, with train, walk, security (etc.) to get inside the terminal - but we did have enough time to get some delicious pancakes for breakfast (at Sushi Maki Restaurant, of all places!). After finishing, got souvenirs - and then realized we were still a long way from our gate. Had to take another train to get there - and walked up right as they started to call our zone. It took awhile to get everyone on the plane (glad we had small carry-ons) and we left late - but they made it up on the way to DFW. We actually landed early and were on our way to the car before our scheduled arrival time (nice!). I was checking my messages and found out that the company I interviewed with last week had a job offer for me - great! Took care of some other issues (by phone) on the way to our house. Got home just in time to pick up the kids. Spent the rest of the day packing for our annual Thanksgiving trip. Busy, busy!
