Fren2 reminded me that next week is Memorial day holiday. Wow, it's already been a year since the trip. Anyway, this next post is the day after Disney, want to drive back from Orlando to Plantation. We actually check out of Crowne Plaza Plantation and checked in to Crowne Plaza Orlando during this trip. Thankfully it is also Modo preferred hotel :D
Saw a fleet of Mini Coopers decorated like a drink :P
The drive back via I-95 was boring. Luckily Gf drive. But then as we near Plantation, suddenly decided, hey still quite early, maybe we should go Miami again! I wanted to take a pic with those large cruise ships up close, so we drove to find where is the place that we can see it.
Ah, found it :D Cruise lining up. What a name: "Freedom of the Seas"! The Port of Miami is the world's largest cruise ship port and it's always a wonder to see, even though I've been here many times :)
Then we drove around Downtown Miami...

Dade County Courthouse and Flagler Street, named after the founder of Miami, Henry Flager.
Here are some pics from another time which Fren2 and I went to Miami. This is the American Airlines Arena stadium, home to NBA's Miami Heats.
suddenly saw a black Optimus Prime :D
Oh yeah, and this is the Freedom Tower, one of the heritage sites in Florida, which serves as a memorial of the Cuban migration to US.
Skyscrapers...
Ah, this car brings back memories :D
Some pic of cars... 911...
It's not uncommon to see sports cars in Miami... Corvettes, Ferraris.... and my favourite Pontiac Soltice, which isn't too expensive, about USD28k.
And we also tried to see if we could go into Star Island, which is an artificial island where some of the celebrities like Shaq O' Neil, Will Smith and P Diddy stayed.
Alamak, got guard house.. lemah dy... turn back :-S
Ok, after Miami, we check in back to Crowne Plaza Plantation, and guess what, they gave us a suite!
Got living room area :D
Then that night went for dinner at this Mexican restaurant:
Nachos.. superb... and this hot plate chicken dish..
another chicken dish... gosh, so huge portion.
Food is really good and affordable (USD10-15 for a set). But I think this amount can feed 4 person :-S, end up tah-pau back :P
Ok, not too many posts for Life in Plantation left.. Next:
1) Big Cypress National Preserve
2) Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
