Travel: {Miami}

{our lovely 10-day retreat two weeks ago was spent in Miami, Florida at the luxurious Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort.  Poolside lounging or sunbathing at a private beach front right on the Atlantic ocean were the two major decisions each day.  Two trips to downtown Miami, strolling Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road Mall, cheating on my vegan diet with a white cheese pizza (Gorgonzola sealed the deal), several dirty martinis at the hotel lounge, a rainy afternoon spent indoor with chilled Champagne and a late-night dinner on a beautifully landscaped terrace, complete with water fall will be memories I will forever cherish, especially so as it was shared with my wonderful husband.... thank you, honey}

  6. It looks like a tropical paradise. Hmm, being on holiday is a perfectly valid reason for cheating on that diet!

  7. The Alternative Wife... you will definitely love the Fairmont Turnberry Isle... in my opinion, it was well situated (20 minute drive away from downtown Miami), 2-minute walk to Aventura Mall, complete with shuttle to the beach... really, really pretty... but of course, I haven't been to the one in Barbados yet!

    Nikkeeb, not obvious at all... it is actually white chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate truffles... yummy!

    Ms. Jenn... yes, loved Miami, lucky you... will definitely return!

    Connie, Forgetmenot and C... thank you!
