Day 1 – Headed to Miami


Left at 4:20am this morning for Miami. The intention was to leave much earlier, but around 7pm on Thursday I received a call from Claudia telling me Opa was unresponsive. I rushed over to Dad’s to see how he was doing. He was in fact unresponsive and dripped in sweat. He had apparently gotten way too much CO2 build up. Off to the hospital and luckily later in the am he made a good recovery.

On the road we went and headed towards the sunny state. The drive was pretty uneventful and we pulled into the Hilton Cabana Miami Beach a little before 5pm. It rained a bit before we got into Miami and upon our arrival it ended up stopping. Got our digs out of the Yukon and checked in. Headed to the bar for some quick refreshments and a little reprieve from the road.


The kids were chilling upstairs in the room, watching TV and texting on their phones. Olivia had been looking for some good places to eat and we determined Hoshi Sushi would be our choice this evening. The place was just a little under a mile from the hotel, so we opted to walk there. After a little jaunt we got to our table and mauwed down sushi and appetizers. The Schiffers did not make this a long meal as we were all wanted to walk around a bit before it got too late. I got an Uber to take us to Lincoln Road, a road of shops and restaurants. We all went into a few and finally got LT some Kappa gear at LuLu.


After a visit to the National Geographic’s Studio store, which had paintings and photographs that were absolutely amazing, we headed right next door to Hagen Daaz. All of us grab a cone, except for Anna. Her and I grabbed a gelato at D4. I don’t remember what she got, but I had an amazing Nutella gelato. It was super yummy! After the sugar fest we grabbed another Uber and headed back to the hotel. The whole clan was pretty tired and managed to get into bed a little after 11pm.
