Tattoos and Hurricanes in Florida
Posted by Brody on February 26, 2010While I wanted a tattoo really bad, the trip we planned in Florida would’ve prevent me from doing any swimming or diving, so we left the tattoo parlor and returned to South Beach. We walked around Miami Beach, checking out all the Art Deco area and taking in all the cafes and restaurants. We were lucky that the sun was shining, because later in the day thunderstorms began to brew. We heard later that a tornado touched down only a few miles away from our hotel in West Florida!
While we were walking around South Beach, we were offered free money! We knew there would be a catch, and there was, it was a ‘Time-Share’ ploy. If we listened to a 90 minute talk we’d get $80! We thought what could it hurt, and it turned out to be better than we thought, after waiting for about 50 minutes, we were told there was no representative available to talk to us, so we got our $80 and a ride back to South Beach – easy money!
The next day, we rented a car and headed down to the Florida Keys. We stopped in Homestead, which is on the east section of the Everglades National Park, that’s when we heard about a hurricane heading our way, we decided to head down to the Keys anyways and if a hurricane happens, we’ll deal with it then. But, the authorities had other plans, they began to evacuate all the residence and the tourist from the Keys, so we had to change our plans.
We drove all night and well into the morning back to our hotel, we weren’t too upset because we’ve been to the Keys before. Maybe now it would be a good time to get that tattoo, since the hurricane has made it awful to go to the beach!
