Hello folks, welcome to my return trip as the time has come, getting ready for my journey back to St. Louis after traveling to all those cities for several weeks. So I traveled to Los Angeles, Honolulu, Anchorage, Atlanta and Miami. I had fun in all those cities. So starting with part one, I flew my first leg aboard United Airlines Flight 1027 from Miami to Newark 
. So let’s go on to what I did in Miami. So on Sunday of last week, my Laura, her friends and I went MIA plane spotting by NW 57th AVE & NW 12th St. After plane spotting, on Monday we drove around Coral Gables, including the house my Grandma used to live. My Aunty temporarily lived there with her. Then the schools that I went to such as GW Carver Elementary School, Ponce de Leon Middle School and Coral Gables Senior High School. Then the Boys & Girls Club that I went to by SW 32nd Ave. Also SW 32nd Ave & SW 20th St was where my Mother and I was at during the summer of 2010. Then drove around that McDonalds across Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus where my mom and I went to multiple times. Then in Doral, I went to Miami Dade College West Campus after graduating from Coral Gables High School back in 2019. Then in Kendall, I went to Miami Dade College Kendall Campus back in 2021. Then FIU from January 2022 to July 2024 and then finally my Grandmothers current area that Laura and I have been to in the past.
Then on Tuesday, we went to Aventura Mall and went to JC Penny, Macy’s 
and we even ate at a food court. Then on Wednesday, we went to the movies 
at Sunset Place 24 and watched Die My Love with Jennifer Lawrence. After that, we went over to the Shops Place at Sunset Place and bought a few things from there. Then we drove around past Zoo Miami 
and Miami Gardens. Then we stopped and grabbed McDonalds before we drove back to the hotel 
. Then on Thursday, we went to Dave n Busters in Hollywood Florida 
by Sheridan St & Sterling Rd and ate some Chicken Tenders 
, Cheeseburger 
, Fries 
, Spicy Wings 
with Ranch Sauce, Cheese Quesadilla, and Mozzarella Sticks with Sprite, Dr. Pepper 
, Water 
and Lemonade 
. Then we went and played a bunch of arcades. Then we went and tried Açaí and it was really sweet and savory. Then Friday was Beach Day 
. So we went to Miami Beach and spent all day until Sunset 
. We left at 7:30 AM, so we’ve been at the beach since 7:30 AM. Then we went to The Tavern American Restaurant and inside that restaurant, there was a bar, and dining tables. So we ate a Bacon Cheeseburger 
, Fries , Mac n Cheese, Coleslaw and Roast Corn 
. That was delish. We drank Strawberry Lemonade 
, Sprite Zero, Coke Zero and Cranberry Cocktail 
. After that, we stopped by Walgreens for me to buy Pringles Barbecue Chips and Wild Berry Skittles Gummies to snack on the plane back to St. Louis. After that, we headed back to the hotel for us to start packing up, getting ready for us to check out the hotel for Laura and her friends to take me to the airport to catch my 4:50 PM flight to Newark to fly back to the STL.
Going onto my travel day, we checked out at 2:00 PM. So we stopped at Pollo Tropical and ordered Crispy Chicken with White Rice and Beans 
, bread roll 
and a Mango 
Tropi Chiller via the Drive Thru. I ate that en route to MIA airport. At 2:40 PM, we made it to the airport. By then, I was done with my Pollo Tropical . I threw my food away before grabbing my suitcase 
and saying goodbye to Laura and her friends before I got inside the airport. In this case, I flew United Airlines. So I checked in at Concourse G. I got my boarding passes for my two legs to get back to St. Louis . Then I proceeded through airport security and the line was very long which took me until 3:45 PM and then I finally made my way to the gate. So now onto the flight, I hope that you enjoy this first leg that I’ll post. Here go the shots of my first leg from Miami to Newark .

I made it to Gate G14 MIA airport and my aircraft, parked at the gate ready for us to board at 4:15 PM for our 4:50 PM flight to Newark
. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome aboard United Airlines Flight 1027 service to Newark on the B737 MAX 8. I had my snacks packed up in my personal item to snack on during cruise. I planned on calling my Uncle as soon as I got to Newark before boarding my 9:46 PM flight to STL to pick me up from Terminal 1 STL airport. But anyways, let’s get this flight started.
At 4:52 PM, we pushed back from Gate G14, started up our Leap 1B engines. We taxied to RWY 8R for takeoff out of MIA airport. You could see that MIA tower on the left and Western Cargo terminal too.
We hopped on RWY 8R and began our takeoff roll from Miami
And off we go as we lifted off RWY 8R from MIA airport, off to Newark
. Goodbye 305 Miami. We’ll c ya next time. What a great and fun time we had.
We banked to the left, heading north. We flew over North Lauderdale
before we flew past Boca Raton. You would see that Boca Raton airport. I went to Boomers with Boys & Girls Club during summer time back when I was 11 and 12 years old.
Then it got dark as to where we leveled off at FL370. We flew over Florence South Carolina taken from Seat 26F
. Then as I took out my snacks, we were served Stroopwafels and Biscoff Cookies 
. So I chose Sprite . I listened to music 
and I watched the Good Advice TV show 
on the IFE
Then we started our descent onto Newark
. We maintained 8,000 FT, flying over Princeton New Jersey before we approached for RWY 4R EWR airport for landing
Here we were on short final RWY 4R EWR airport before we landed into Newark
After that windy landing into Newark, we vacated RWY 4R, crossed RWY 4L, and taxied to Gate A24 for our arrival.
And we have arrived at Gate A24 EWR airport. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Newark
. It was time for me to grab my stuff, exit the aircraft and transfer over to Terminal C Gate C105 for my 9:46 PM flight to St. Louis aboard the United Express E175 aircraft.
So, this completes my first leg of my return journey to St. Louis. I hope that you enjoyed this first leg. Stay tune for my final leg from Newark to St. Louis on the United Express E175. Without further ado, be safe and have a blessed day.
