Miami Boat Show 15th - 22nd February 2017 Day 1

Time had come for another trip to the sunshine state which just happened to be the week of the Miami Boat Show and Presidents Day. Joining Colin and John for this trip was Phil on his first ever USA trip!

Phil drove down to Luton and while he no doubt logged a hatful the local duo just scribed a couple.

Next stop was Chez Martin. Dazza would kindly drop us off at LGW. Unfortunately he couldn't make this trip as he had bigger fish to fry in Arizona a few weeks later. Time to fill our bellies and make a few Norwegian 73s before we board DY7045 for the ten hour flight to FLL. EI-LNJ had the pleasure of breaking Pogos transatlantic cherry.

After a relaxing flight watching a few movies we were finally here. Our stand was occupied so we had to be coached to the terminal via the Spirit and JetBlue ramps. After a somewhat lengthy customs process it was off to pick up the car and the first of the daily circuits.

Circuit done and it was time for a quick bite to eat before checking in to the hotel for the next seven nights. As usual the base for this trip would be the Motel 6 at Dania Beach.
