I took advantage of a couple of days off work and went to Florida with 2 friends from New York.
I left a Friday night on a red-eye flight to Atlanta then Atlanta to Miami. I arrived in Miami on Saturday and waited for my friend's plane to arrive.
Saturday we went to a hotel in Miami Beach. We got on our swimsuits and went straight to the beach. We took in the beauty of the beach. I got some seashells and went swimming. Words cant say what I saw I took pictures and it will explain everything.

Sunday morning we woke up, went to the beach and watched the sunrise while we swam. We decided to take a Greyhound Bus to Key West.

We arrive in Key West and went to the NYAH (Not Your Average Hotel), and check-in. We walk around and got some souvenirs and went to the most southern point in the continental of the USA.

That night in Key West they had a Zombie bike ride, and we decided to watch it. Back at our hotel, we went swimming again.

Monday morning we woke up early, ate breakfast, went to the pier and got on a boat with other people and went snorkeling.

The tour guides told us about our gear and explained about snorkeling. I have never snorkeled before so I was nervous.
I got in the water and the seawater kept getting in my goggles, so that made it difficult to snorkel. I ended up not using the straw part of the snorkel and just held my breath. Overall it was amazing and I would do it again. The fishes were nearby my toes and it was really cool.
Back on the boat, we saw dolphins so the Captain followed them.

Back on shore we went back to the hotel and took a nap. Then we walked to Smathers Beach. Along our walk, we saw some interesting things that are unusually for us to see where we are from.

| Wild chickens were everywhere |
Back at the hotel, we got dinner and chilled by the pool again.
Tuesday morning, we packed up and rented a car to drive back to the Miami airport and went back home.
