I will try to take the time to load
photos and stuff from the trip
as I go...check here during the week...
well, I arrived to all day all night thunder storms and the worst rain accumulation they have had
all year...needless to say, my "playtime" before the
convention was drippingly miserable. I can find fun though, so I made the best of it and explored.

didn't know it would be days before seeing blue sky again! |
So when you're wet and in South Beach... |

|
you find a club with great food, a mambo band & latin hotties!! |
Plenty of people didn't mind the rain... |

|
Told you I was here for business!! |

|
A 24-hour deli restaurant right across the street! |

|
Brisket & turkey with cole slaw on rye 7 1/2 inches tall!!! |
Delicious surprise for dinner Tuesday... |

|
I had an incredible Cuban Sandwich while sitting outside watching the passersby. |
The sun finally appeared on Wednesday morning |

|
and Florida actually looked like it should! |
Came out for lunch Wednesday |

|
and enjoyed the beautiful day. |
Took a detour back from lunch... |

|
yes, it's a beach |
beautiful, huh? |

|
gotta love it...been busy...so far |

|
Ana, Sophia, Karina, Thairy, Camilla, Trish, Jessica....... still no sleep but lots of energy!! |
|
 |
I'll be staying at The Carlton Hotel |

|
...right in the heart of the Art Deco District! |
The lobby of the hotel. |

|
beautiful contemporary decorating with deco flair... |
my room |

|
another shot of my room on another day |

|
King bed, ceiling fan, pool view, original hardwoods... |
My room is on the top floor |

|
with a nice view...even in the rain. |

|
when the sun finally showed up |
purple flowers on every street throughout SoBe |

|
