So i've been here for a good week now and came to the conclusion that while it's a beautiful place/scenery (beach, palms, art deco etc.) i probably won't be coming back and that is mainly due to the TRAFFIC.
Yesterday i went to the Bayside Marketplace because i wanted to (and did) take a boat cruise.
I took the "Millionaires Row" cruise from Island Queen (islandqueencruises.com). (Spent 30$ on the Ticket, 2$ tip & 3$ for a bottle of Water.)
Nothing to complain about the tour was great and absolutely worth it.
BUT getting there was already a nightmare because of the traffic. It takes about 30min to drive 1 mile in that bayside area.
If you think thats bad than i'm here to tell you that was nothing compared to the drive back to the hotel.
1.Just as bad traffic
2.Started to rain
3.Needed to pee badly but could not because of the traffic
4.They closed a road and i did not know where to go (At this point i was getting pretty desperate)
5.Thankfully after the gps bringing me back to the closed road a second time and me not being able to figure out where to go the lady at the road closure helped me out and i was able to figure it out eventually.
Worst driving conditions i had to deal with EVER.
Their hard taco shells taste like cardboard. That hasn't always been the case. They've been going downhill for over 20 years now, bad food, bad service & higher prices. That's my opinion about most "corporate" fast food places, they sacrifice quality (cheaper ingredients) and employee pay for higher profits.
I actually liked the Soft Taco best along with the Fries with Nacho Cheese dips. 1 of the 2 Slush drinks that i ordered was also decent.
Yes the burrito and hard shell taco i would not order again.
Get out in the country a little bit and sample rural FL - it's a whole other world.
Is there an area within about 30min of driving with very little traffic?
I would actually like to use the 450hp v8 in my mustang a little bit but it's not going to happen around here.
Hey Michael, why 30 hours? Its about a 14 hour flight from Germany to the USA. We fly to Texas quite often from Hamburg. You must have had a bad run.
I am glad you are having fun in the sun.
This was the time between sleep, the flight itself was only 10hrs.
But multiple reasons why it took so long.
- I needed to drive 3 1/2 hours from Ingolstadt to Frankfurt. Munich Airport has no direct flight to Miami. (Los Angeles would be possible, though)
- I woke up early because i wanted to be there early (I'm not routined with flying and airports)
- The flight was delayed
- After arriving there was a long waiting line for the pass control
- Traffic
- Did not directly go to bed after checkin but grabbed some lobster rolls, walked around the beach, called home etc. first
