Armaaniika Adventure 🐊🦩

Continuing the story from my previous post

After we reached the parking lot, guess what? Our car didn't start again when we were leaving the park. Then, Prothom went to the visitor center to gather a jumper cable to start the car. At this point, I was so done with this car. Out of the blue moon, it started to act up for no reason, and the owner told us to go to AutoZone to fix the car, which we could have done, but we had a flight to catch within the next few hours. Anyways, in this chaos, Prothom found a jumper cable, and we were able to drive the car. We both were really scared at that time because if we stopped the car, what if it didn't start? And by the time we were super hungry, so we first drove to a restaurant to eat lunch.

When we reached the restaurant, we put our car on start and left the car in the parking lot, hoping no one would steal the car. At that point, we couldn't take the risk to park the car because we had our flight in less than 3 hours. Another funny experience was when we wanted to try authentic American Caribbean food. So, at the place we went for fruit juice, we saw they sell authentic food there and we wanted to revisit there to try out their food. When we arrived there, we couldn't figure out anything since every word was written in Spanish. Then, we asked an English-speaking person who actually translated the food menu, and then we ordered food cluelessly. We just hoped the food would be good because we were really hungry by that time. The food was actually really good. We loved the sandwich and rice and bean curry. We were so thirsty we ended up ordering three juices and one soda lol.

After that, we went to a gas station to refresh and change our clothes and wear something warm and get ready for the flight. As we went to the airport, we experienced a beautiful sunset, and as the sun was setting, we got into the airport, left our car (thankfully it worked till we reached the airport), and walked for about 30 mins in the airport to board the plane ✈️

Armaaniika Adventure 🌴✈️

Our last day in Florida was a wild ride! 😅 We had big plans to visit Biscayne National Park and had booked a boat tour for 9 AM sharp. Since it was also our flight day, we had to check out from the Airbnb. We had cleaned our clothes, but the Airbnb host misplaced them, and we couldn't find them. In the rush to leave, we decided to forget about the laundry. However, as soon as we got into the car, it wouldn't start. We had to call the car owner, but they weren't much help. Adding to the chaos, the Airbnb cleaner found the laundry, and I hurried to pack it while my husband got the car jumper from the host. Eventually, we managed to start the car and rushed to the park. Traveling isn't always as smooth as it appears in our Instagram perfect photos.

During the drive, we called the tour to inform them that we might be late, requesting them not to leave without us. When we arrived, we were the last to board the boat. The tour took us to Boca Chita Key, the highlight of the park. Lasting nearly three hours, we spent 1.5 hours getting to the key, enjoyed 30 minutes there, and then returned to land. The weather was perfect, and we relished the warm, sunny day, dipping our feet into the cool park waters. The gentle breeze kept us refreshed. We had packed snacks and enjoyed them by the picturesque waterside. It was a splendid sunny day at the beach. Though we had planned to swim, the morning's hiccups dashed those hopes. After the tour, we explored the park a bit more.

Miami City Places Review 🏙️

Jungle Island: 🌴🦜📸

We were so hyped for Jungle Island, expecting wild animals to roam freely and maybe even give us a high-five! But reality hit us hard. Instead of a jungle adventure, we found a heavily decorated space with just a handful of birds, a bunch of flamingos, and snacks. It felt more like a themed party than a wildlife experience. For Insta-worthy pics and flamingo sightings, it's okay. But for adults seeking thrills, not so much. Better suited for kiddos. 💁‍♂️💃

Price: $34 per person 🧍

The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum: 🏛️🔬🌌

Now, THIS is a museum worth raving about! We were blown away by the endless treasures it held. From tropical plants to the secrets of the animal kingdom, and even the evolution of flight – it had it all! With five floors packed with knowledge and exhibits, we barely scratched the surface. The Aquarium, planetarium, and all the science stuff... mind-blowing! Whether you're a science nerd or just curious, this place is a must-visit. 🤓🚀

🚗💘 Armaaniika Adventure 🚗💘

On our 3rd day, I woke up early and wandered around the place we were staying. We were tired from the busy day before, so we wanted to take it easy. Even though we'd been there for three days, we forgot to check out properly from our Airbnb because we had so much to do. Just before we left for the day, we took some quick pictures. Since it was supposed to rain all day, we planned indoor activities.

🏞️We then left for our first stop, where we checked off our 21st national park! When researching Biscayne National Park, we assumed that being 95% underwater, there wouldn't be much to do. However, when we were visiting the visitor center, we discovered boat services offering tours to different keys around the park, showcasing various facts and tropical plants. We decided to take a two-hour boat ride, even though we were a bit worried because we were leaving the next day.

🏛️ After that, we visited Jungle Island and The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum. Jungle Island wasn't as exciting as we thought it would be because there weren't many animals there. But the museum was great! We had lunch with a view of Miami, and there was so much to learn about plants, animals, and how flying has changed over time. We missed the planetarium show because we didn't know we had to book it in advance.

When we finished at the museum, it was still raining, so we went back to our Airbnb to pack. We were getting ready to fly back home the next day.

Continuing from the last post ⬅️

🌊With a disappointed heart, we headed to watch the sunset in Mallory Square, so we headed there to find a parking lot. Right after we parked the car in the parking lot of Mallory, the rain started to pour. So Prothom went to take some pictures of the ship, and I went somewhere else, and we agreed to meet at the ship area. All of a sudden, it started pouring outside, and we were both in different places, and I had no phone with me. But somehow Prothom managed to get soaked in water, and we waited in a spot until the rain stopped. Right after that, Prothom went to the car to get a towel and change his clothes since he was totally soaked. I was waiting for him in the park, and I got stung by a bee! I was almost dying in pain, but Prothom panicked and found a nearby CVS, and we walked about five minutes to get there and get the medicine to help with the swelling. The medicine definitely helped with the swelling, but I was still in a lot of pain. During that time, the rain didn't really stop. It was continuously raining.

☔️ So we walked to the parking lot. While going back to the parking lot, the rain stopped, and we decided to eat something from the streets. Just when we started to eat and enjoy the warm wind, it started pouring again! We had no shelter near us at that point; we were in the middle of the park. Thank God when Prothom went to the car, he brought the towel with him, and we ran to the car while holding the towel as a cover. We both got soaked by the time we got to the car, so we took our time to dry ourselves in the car.

🚗 After that, we headed to the Airbnb after a chaotic day. The day started with super fun, but as the day came to an end, the rain really ruined it for us. But we really enjoyed most of it. We made a pit stop to grab some snacks. It was a long ride back home. When we went back home, we were planning what to do the next day and were enjoying our favorite fruits and called it a day 🥱
