Life Is Calling......Where Are You?

Last four days have been one dream run; still in the spell of those unforgettable mesmerizing moments which I am surely going to carry forward with me always. Trip to another kind of paradise called South Florida (Miami & Key West), lush green sea shores of Atlantic Ocean and vast stretch of Bay of Mexico, south Florida is one heavenly place for sure.

Traveling has always been one of my favorite passions and when it comes to adventure the shoe laces are even tighter; exploring the nature and getting as close as possible can only reveal you the truth of verity of surprises nature has in store. Roaming around endlessly to get something upfront and close to nature can bring brisk smile on my face; it has always been the case from very early days.

Day-1

Started early from Orlando to by pass the traffic and in a not so long four hour journey here I was in the Miami; the downtown skylines were telling me there is lot to be explored here and when I saw the Atlantic Ocean, the lush green color and the soothing waves coming right on my face made me lost in the nature. Grabbing a quick bite I headed to the South beach which was only five minute walk from my hotel and here I was South Beach Miami. Life is calling……..and where I was before?


Day-2

While still in the aura created by the enchanting waves I was stuck by yesterday, I wasted no time in getting onto the sea shore as soon as possible, best part of the entire beach is between 21st street till 14th street. While I was on the move through the wooden bridge which was in place to escort you till the beaches; it was vigilant from there what life has in store for me today. When I first touched the water I was all blue; it was very cold and green, the blues went off as soon as I took my first dip in the water, it was the harmony of waves throwing me here and there; tearing apart all my fears and asking me to get in deeper and deeper into it. I hesitated a lot initially but couldn’t resist risking getting deeper into the sea; nature was calling and I was there to accept. Overwhelmed with the captivating sea, I shifted my focus to look around on others who may have been feeling the same way I was feeling: charming, excited and experiencing heavenly! I sure was on the cloud number nine today.

Day-3

Human nature is greedy; they don’t just stop and say they are satisfied, their thrust keep on getting bigger and bigger as the days progress. I am also a human being and so I am no different, the experience I had yesterday wasn’t enough for me and I was striving for more; that’s when I started my journey to the southernmost part of US; KEY WEST!
A four hour journey through the coastline of Gulf of Mexico; Spell was again on today; everything was so beautiful that I didn’t even get time to realize that I reached my destination. There were lots of bridges we crossed on the way but the most noticeable was the one which had 7.5 miles of stretch. I was absolutely amazed thinking the efforts which would have been put across to build these wonders. The city lives on the coast of Gulf and the coastline follows you where ever you go; just like the Hutch puppy. Being on the Southernmost point of US reminded me the old days when I was in Trivandrum and went to Kanyakumari: The southernmost point in India. Nothing has changed from then,I was the same;in the quest of exploring more and more out of life. Packed with lots of memories of the Gulf, I headed to my temporary home Miami.

Day-4

While today is the day I was suppose to come back to Orlando; heart was not letting me go without experiencing the heaven out there on the south beach. My self helpless in front of my heart, again headed to the south beach and the scene I saw there was something that shook me. Today the sea was violent, the beach which was crowded two days back had hardly someone getting in; I could feel the fury of nature, the waves were thrashing and throwing everything that came in the way. It was not the same heaven which I experienced two days back, but I guess I was even ready to face the hell and so I went in, this time cautiously not too deep. After spending sometime there I started back to my hotel and headed towards back home. In last four days everyday I experienced something new and something that will stay with me in my golden memories forever. I have now touched all the four poles of US. Let me start thinking beyond US for my next adventure trip. How about Machu-Picchu in Peru?

Life is calling again……..where I am?
