Bienvenito a MIAMI!
I have gone to Miami every year for the past 5 years or so. And everytime I go, it is a new experience. I have been with different groups of people & each time is an AWESOME time!
Miami never ceases to amaze or amuse me. I realize I can’t drink like I used to, so my Wet Willie’s days are drawing nigh. But News Cafe & Jerry’s are still the BEST places to eat good assed regular food! The hot tubs @ the Shelborne, the infinity pool @ the National, the rooftop lounge @ the Townhouse. AMAZING!
I bought jewelry on top of jewelry only for ME this year. I met Whiteboy from I Love New York & I Love Money and he is the hottest Jewish boy I have ever met & I have met some HOT Jewish boys! I partied with my people at The 5th & didn’t wake up with a hangover! I finally got to ride a scooter through the streets of South Beach. AWESOMENESS!
I had never travelled with my co-worker before, but she was an AWESOME vacation partner. See how I keep using the word AWESOME? Yeah… I love South Beach with an all-inclusive resort on the sunny shores of JA, a close second. But South Beach has always been the place I HAVE to go each year.
The plane ticket was $160, the room was a STEAL, the transportation to & from the airport was a lil steep, but not bad when split 2 or 3 ways. I didn’t want to leeeeeave… I still had a list of things I didn’t get to do. My friend had a personal issue so we missed the strip club & then the heat got the best of us so we missed going to Dream. I wanted to have plantains & blackbeans & rice @ Lario’s. I wanted to ride a bike down the beach again. I wanted to go to the MAC store & have a fabulous Miami queen make me FLAWLESS! UGH! I want to go back, NOW!
All in all, it was not perfect & not everything went as planned, but hey Miami is as close to paradise as you can get in the continental US. My uncle was asking if I went to Key West… um, when you are in MIAMI do you NEEEED to go anywhere else? UH UH!
As of today, I have 22 days before I feel the RUSH of the city that never sleeps… I can’t wait for that EITHER! I am by no means a jet setter, but there are places that I HAVE to go regularly because they make me feel so alive! I am presently shaking my shimmy as I type! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
