Weather - Miami Weather at Night

Miami, FL

I am stuck in Miami due to my flight directly to Dallas from Orlando was cancelled due to mechanical problems. So, they put me on a flight to Miami today to then be put on another one to Dallas. However, the second flight got delayed and then cancelled due to severe weather in Texas 8 hours later. So, I was put in a very posh hotel in Miami which the airlines paid for due to the first flight being cancelled. My meals were paid for and this image is from the patio where I ate tonight at the hotel. The weather here is wonderful and it was a perfect night to eat outside.

A real adventure for sure. Sorry, this is late but it was beyond my control. I'll catch up on comments tomorrow when I arrive home.

You have good luck to be at a nice hotel but at the same time not fun being cancelled.

I guess it was all inconvenient and I'm trying to feel sorry for you, but it was much better to be safe -and dinner in a swish hotel in Miami doesn't sound altogether bad. Great story, Cindi.

Isn't just plain luck sometimes elegant?
Glad you are safe and will come home with more memories and photos than you expected. Lucky lady.

A nice ending to a disappointing story, air travel gets more and more difficult, glad you had a good meal, and enjoyable stay, ....safe home!!

Great way to be stranded. You could have been sleeping on an airport floor instead. Have a nice, safe and hassle free flight home.

A free night and food in a posh hotel in Miami? Life doesn't get much better than that!
Love the beautiful sky Cindi! :)
