Thank you for your kind wishes and your contributions about your recent visit - the hardest part for me is being here knowing that Dreamflight won't becoming as it ia always a highlight for my autumn trips when I am over here.
A few observations for those who may be coming to stay in villas etc - Walmart have introduced a lot of self service tills in their supermarkets (Publix also have them but not as many it seems) - at busy times it seems to be a constant source of confusion for some people. If you have a large trolley load to buy there are often large queues at both the self serve and assisted tills. Meat prices do seem to be higher. I also noticed in one or 2 local Walmarts that they have reduced the height and amount of shelves dedicated to wine - the cynic in me says that is because the Brits aren't here but rest assured wine/beer prices can still be reasonable 12pk Sam Adams Oktoberfest $15.98 and the usual huge bottles of wine for under $10 (if you like that sort of thing ) |

Did the same route as you stanleycamel and arrived in Orlando last night after 15 nights in Barbados and a 1h 40 layover in Miami. We used Verifly and we’re asked at the AA check-in desk how long ago we’d been in Europe but didn’t want evidence when we said 15 nights.
As you said Global Entry at Miami also took us around 10 seconds though we were delayed getting to the machines by 2 minutes as an immigration officer wanted to talk football with my wife as she was wearing her United/Ronaldo shirt. Hire car also through Andy at DFCH and straight to the Alamo garage and loads of standard SUVs to choose from and we decided on a Toyota 4Runner which stood out amongst the smaller Equinoxes, etc. Have a great time in Florida. |

Quick question re verify. Is it just the one flight into the states you need to do it for? Not the internal? Thanks.

It's not really that you have to do it... It's just pre authorisation for your covid tests etc so you are pre cleared with a a green tick you just show the airline and you don't have to worry about the paperwork (although I'd take a copy).
AFAIK it's only used by one world alliance airlines. I've BA, AA etc. That said I could have sworn Virgin were testing it on flights to Jamaica too

Went to Millenia Mall a couple of days ago - quiet not many wearing masks but some shops had signs saying you had to wear one to enter. New Bath and Body Works just being finished off. Ate at PF Chang's and it was busy at lunch time but seemed a little short on staffing.
Ate at Longhorn (near Old Town) and it was a little disappointing for the first time ever - hadn't made it half way through our salad when the steaks arrived and mine was just swimming in grease and not medium. The meat itself was OKish and still nice with the doggie bag for a sandwich for lunch next day. The place was reasonably quiet with empty tables (this was about 6-6.30 and when I had a quick chat with the manager he said he could fill the tables but they couldn't get the staff but they were looking forward to the Brits coming back. Cracker Barrel now sells alochol Hopefully off to Sunset Walk at Margarita Ville tonight so will report back on that is I get. |
