All baseball teams have travel days when they don’t play but just relocate from one city to another. Well today was a travel day for Patrice and me. We got an early start and made it to JFK airport in plenty of time to make our flight to Miami. It was fortunate that we were early because we saw, Dwayne Johnson (“The Rock”) at the airport and he was kind enough to let me snap a photo of him with Patrice (See below).
At the airport I found the bathrooms rather tricky. Sorry but the high tech equipment in public restrooms can be difficult for an old guy like me to understand. I am sure you are familiar with the systems that start water flow once your hands trip a sensor alerting the equipment that you are in the proper position. Below you will see a picture of a sink in a bathroom at JFK. It took me a long time to finally figure out how to turn on the water (see below).
We had a rather uneventful flight to Miami. Upon arrival I wanted to immediately return to New York. It was 82 degrees when we landed but the humidity was about 12,000%.
After checking into the hotel we rested for a bit. After all we were sitting in an airplane for 3 hours, and needed a rest from all that hard work. We then decided to explore South Beach before dinner. Apparently weather can get a bit strong down here so trees need to be supported (see below).
They also have some interesting observations about the surroundings. Note they want you to stay off the grass (see below).
But take a better look at what they call grass (see below).
Also I think they have an interesting opinion about health food down here. Possibly the humidity has gotten to their brains.
Now Patrice is trying to get me to go to the hotel gym to work out. I am trying to convince her I need to write my blog. I better go, it wasn’t easy to get her to leave “The Rock” when we were at JFK this morning. I need to get into better shape.
Baseball tomorrow. And a meeting with a woman of my past.
