Hey folks, my fiancee and me just got back from what would have been a really nice trip to Miami and the Florida Keys :wink: . We were supposed to spend one day soaking up the sights and sounds of Miami, and then head out the next morning to Key West.
We arrived in Miami in the early afternoon and went out to the beach for a while, then got changed and headed down to South Beach. So far, so good. We strolled around South Beach and the art deco district for a while and since it was Cinco de Mayo we wanted to have some Fajitas for dinner. We decided on a restaurant on South Beach with a live Band playing South American music. The food was Ok, the waiter was rude, but we had fun anyway. Since we wanted to head out early the next morning and we had an ocean view room, we went back to the hotel to spend a little romantic time together. :D:
On the way back I started to get a little weird feeling in my stomach. When we got back to the hotel, I started feeling really bad. So what would've been a romantic night, turned out to be an all night regurgitation party for me. :doa: Yup, that's right, I got some sort of really bad food poisoning.
I couldn't keep any sort of food or drink down for about 1 1/2 days, I could barely walk (or rather stagger) from the bed to the bathroom, and I had a fever. On top of that, the A/C in our hotel room was broken, so we couldn't turn it off, which made it a little cold. After complaining about the A/C to hotel management (over the phone naturally), they finally sent someone to fix it.
Since I couldn't drive, walk, stand, or do anything that doesn't require lying down in a bed and feeling absolutely miserable, we couldn't leave Miami, so we had to prolong our stay there. I called the hotel (more like a really romantic bed & breakfast-type place) in Key West to change our reservation for two days later, and found out that they had registered me in the wrong month. According to them we weren't supposed to come in until the next month, and they were completely booked out for the next two weeks.
So we never made it to Key West. Instead we went home after I felt well enough to drive.
WHAT A TRIP!!!!! Oh well, we'll go somewhere else this week maybe.
