On my way out to the islands...
I've been up for almost two days straight, this is going to end one of two ways lol

Five more hours waiting for a one hour flight, this should do it...

He's in a booth at La Carreta in Miami Airport. I recognise the seat material

Do I win a prize?

My wife took 1 1/2 of the coffees, leaving me with 4 1/2 shots of Cuban style espresso shots. Last time I had 8. I still have three hours to go perhaps I'll sneak in a few more.

Our version of Jet Fuel, Cuban coffee.
You know the quality is good if the spoon stays standing up straight.

Thanks all,

We're here now and this pic doesn't do it justice. Time to get my clothes ready for dinner tonight.

looks great. Just remember when you're lying on the beach, that white coral sand beaches are essentially made of fish excrement

Lol yes I remember from time to time. My revenge is to eat them occasionally while I'm here and thank them for the beautiful scenery. The bay here was dredged out during construction many years ago, leaving behind a very sandy bottom that lets the blue colors come out. Great for swimming, not so much for snorkeling. It's still my favorite place to make a base camp though.
