I don't know if 33 hours travelling time can ever be called painless but I think we got lucky with our trip and apart from general tiredness we really have nothing to complain about in terms of turbulance, passengers from hell, lost luggage etc. Scamming our way into the American airlines lounge at Tokyo helped a lot with the 7 hours spent there and Dallas has a nice big new terminal which was O.K to hang out in.
Our B&B in Miami is really nice and last night we all slept a long long time. After Ally was informed this morning that she had slept for 13hrs she replied in disbelief "wow that's a record".
Today we spent the morning walking around South Beach, famous for its Art Deco Hotels and buildings before an afternoon on the beach. The temperature, air and water, is warmer than we expected and it is no wonder that half of the European and Northern American States population seems to be here.
South Beach is a really interesting mix of the ultra fashionable, mega rich, old time Floridian, holidaying european/latin american and the odd Australian family. It is great people watching territory and for Rhiannon, superb pet watching. South Beach is the home of the pampered pooch and last night while we were having dinner it was an endless parade of beutifull people 
with their beutiful pets. Rhiannon took this picture of one example today. The bling on this dog was quite mild compared with many that we saw. You can't really see it in the photo but the dog had diamonte encrusted collar, hairclips and tail bow.

Glad to hear that you all made it in one piece. We were wondering how you'd survive such a trip - but it's obvious that youth helps a lot. We're still working on the Xmas turkey but have frozen some to save for your return. Love Helen & Jim
