I’ve been home for about 14 hours and thought I would do some sort of summary of the last two amazing weeks. I also have a few photos that didn’t really fit in the daily posts which I could dump here. The trip was divided into four parts. First I …
2022-Florida
Time to go home
So I woke up for the last time (in a while) in Miami, Florida, USA. Had made a small plan for the morning so I started off taking a walk to the Sixt office to return the car and then back to the hotel. Grabbed my stuff and checked out, …
Soccer, Formula 1, Football
Today was all about sports. I got up at nine, had breakfast, and then went to Sixt again to collect the car. I was asked if I wanted the flat rate for tolls ($13) but I expected to manage it to Fort Lauderdale without passing any tolls, Google Maps has …
Water!
I managed to sleep all the way until nine. Possibly helped by the bar music going on to at least half past one and no workers in the morning since it’s Saturday. Took a really slow morning by watching Örgryte-Brage and the F1 qualifiers. During the second half of the …
Slow day
When I woke up this morning, it was to the sound of a shredder that workers outside used to shred palm leaves that I guess got torn off by the wind. Last night I also realized that there are two bars and restaurants on the street where I have my …

Disney’s Hollywood Studios
The alarm went off at 6:55. A thought, “Why am I doing this to myself” ran through my mind before picking up the phone and booking a lightning lane slot for the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. After booking I snoozed for ten minutes before getting up, getting dressed, grabbed my …
Animal Kingdom and EPCOT
Since I’m staying in Treasure Island, west of Tampa, and it was Monday and not the weekend anymore, I realized it would take a couple of hours to get to Orlando. Because of that, I got up early for breakfast and got on the road as quickly as possible. Left …
Go Pack Go!
I set the alarm for eight so I would have time for breakfast and a swim before heading off to the stadium. Not like a Swedish hotel buffet but it was something to fill my stomach with at least. Put on the bathing shorts and went down to the beach. …
