Where to start with how horrible this place is? I donno.. everywhere! The ppl are cold hearted sluts who only care about the way they look. We spent the last 2 days there at a "historical" "hotel" called the colony. It was all a big joke! Ok so firstly they want $22 for valet parking, when you can park right across the street for free from 12am - 9am.. (u pay like $.25 per 10 minuts any time before those hours). Their staff didnt speak much English (which is to be expected in Miami). The hallways smelled horrible. The room smelled horrible. The elevator made the Tower of Terror look like a dream! When we got into the room (which was on the 2nd floor at the very other end of the hotel that only has an elevator and stairs all the way at the other end) it was just plain nasty! There were lil black bugs flying all over, the bed and pillows where covered in some sort of dirt, the bathroom was tiny's ok? like (3'x5'), the toilet was covered in hair and pee, the floor in the bathroom was black in between the tiles (the wall had white hmm i wonder yuck!), the main floor of the room was hard wood and just so gross that even I wouldnt take my shoes off.. it was covered in dirt and had cracks in it, chips and was unfinished in places.. i am convinced if i didnt leave my shoes on I would have a lovely splinter! There was no phone in the room so if you had a question for the front desk have fun walkin to those stairs (cuz the elevator takes an hour). The desks/tabletops looked like they hadnt been cleaned in years. Then this moring was the worst... so we get up its like 8am.. and someone starts banging and hammering and drilling.. and these walls are paper thin mind you, it was so rediculous! So Adam complained and they said oh yea we'll take care of it.. never stoped! Then when adam went to go get the truck a maid just walked right into the room.. im still sittin in there and like HELLO!! she didnt even knock before entering.. now that is not ok i dont care what kinda sleese bag motel you work at!
And last night we went out to a restaurant on the strip (u kinda have to i guess) at an italian place.. the food was outragously priced (of course) the menu was hardly in enlighs and the coke, well it was they bring you a can and charge u $3.25 for each of em. RIP OFF! I mean c'mon it wasnt even pepsi. The waiter hardly spoke english.. and when you're seated they say "do you smoke?" and when you say "no" they take the ash tray and matches away and look at you like you're disgusting becuz you dont! and then when they ask you what to drink and you dont say a whine or alcohol of some sort again they look at you like "how dare you!" Grand total of about $70.. for fetichini alfredo & chicken parmisane.
Oh yea and while we were walking back to our hotel we passed sum stupid lil slut and overheard her telling her other skanky friends "and I look so good on camera.. so like, I know i would be great at it".. me and Adam busted up laughin loud enuf so she could hear us.
I think i may have said something about this earlier but i have to make my point again.. adams "co'workers" keep telling him how they cheat on their girlfriends/wives and they keep trying to tell him how to get away with it. nastY!
Now you know why I think south beach is such a pile of crap!
Today we left Ft Lauderdale at about 11am and headed toward Key Largo. We got to Key Largo at about 2pm (after making a few stops for water and other things). We went to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and were going to just jump right in and start snorkeling (since thats the way all the websites made it sound). After ariving and going to the visitors center we discovered we needed to take a boat to actually get to the reef (30 minutes (by boat) away from the actual park). So we bought two tickets for the
3:05pm boat trip, ringing in at $60. Once out near the reef we finally got to actually snorkel for the first time in FL and see fish and stuff (before all we saw was shells). Some of the things we saw included konch shells (some as big as 1ft long) a huge blue stingray, a few yellow spotted rays, tons of extra large barracudas (some as big as 4 feet long), lots of other tropical fish.. and I saw a large shark..(not sure whut kind) luckily Adam didnt see this, otherwise we woulda been outa the water about a half hour early.
After we got done we came to check into our hotel, and watched the sunset from a little pier on the hotels beach front property. Once the sun set we then we to look for a place to eat. It was luck, that Susan (Adams GPS, yea he's nuts), found a place on the water. Their food was horrible (mine anyways), but the location couldn't have been beter. Our waiter.. was more like well I'm not sure if it was a guy but they claimed their name was Nathan. Once we finished we came back to our hotel.
