South Beach

****Long post, with lots of pictures. =)

We are here in Miami for business. We are staying at the Pelican Hotel. It is on South Beach…..we can now officially say that we have been here during spring break……lol It is a really unique hotel with the different themed rooms. But if you ever stay here, they are very small. The hotels down here have been here for years, so unless they have been stripped out and redone, they have worked with what they had.

We got the Psychedelic (ate) Girl Room

Ironically, my nails match the wall………..grin

This fan is very “industrial” sounding when going. In other words, you really don’t want to use it unless extremely necessary………..grin

OMG! This shower head is to die for! It just pours down on you like a hot water fall. And it does heat up hot and quickly. I love it, even though I feel totally guilty on an environmental stand point, especially living in Florida with the Everglades.

South Beach is something else. So many artificial folks with either too much money on their hands or too worried about making appearances. Yes, you see some nice looking folks, but it just so entertaining on the “show”. Folks seem to just like to walk the sidewalk, looking their “best” in their designer outfits and sunglasses, wanting to be seen and noticed but at the same time looking so nonchalant about it. It is kind of humorous. I guess it is fitting since the Verasci mansion is only 2 blocks down the road. =)

Most of the hotels have their restaurants with outdoor options. I love it when it is this gorgeous out.

View from the table. The gorgeous beach it just across the road past the dunes. I love the fact that the hotels are not ON the beach….that is just so environmentally wrong, plus much hard for the public to enjoy them.

There are beautiful artful hogs parked up and down the street. I would love to have one, if they weren’t so damn loud.

Some of the hotels/restaurants have the menus posted on the sidewalk (which I love for deciding where to eat) and sample dishes but some also have classic cars out front to attract attention.

I am enjoying hearing all the different accents and languages. I guess I’m not like most Americans, I enjoy it. If I get the opportunity I will try and start a conversion about their culture, since I love to learn about different people.

The drive down wasn’t too bad. Took long for my Dramamine to hit, so I didn’t get as much work done as I wanted. But it was nice having the sprint pci card for internet. These are addicting to have. =)

We hooked up with some good friends Tom and Seska, who we have known for years. It was great to be able to hang with folks that we can talk to and play catch up.

I’m getting anxious about my online job store. I see so much potential but don’t have the time to really dig into it. It doesn’t help that I’m waiting on the bank to set some things up. I think that is so annoying. I feel like my hands are tied. We are in the process of setting it up where I’m totally independently running it, but are waiting on paperwork……….icks. I really don’t see me sticking around at my day job in the same role that I am in for much long. Just for the simple fact that I have way too much to do here and want it to succeed even further then I think it can. But that is the goal of this job, so I can work full time for them. =) For now I guess I can show Harold some of the things I do to help out. =)
