Miami Airport

First waiting for bags... then waiting in the long slow line for our rental car.... ugh. They didn't have our vehicle ready, so we ended up with... a mini van! Who cares, we were tired of waiting.

We took a wrong turn, so we decided to drive down a back alley to get back on track... and we were cornered by this tough looking street gang!
Lol...
