cigar and mojito
mr blue sky & mrs white beach
checked out of the setai early. while the sun is shining, its very cold - 6 degrees ... am i in miami or stockholm?
first up, a visit to the sunny isles - 20 minutes up collins avenue - the home of aqualina. the building is IMPOSING! it's huge - i has nearly 200 private apartments and a hotel - with 97 rooms & suites - squeezed in the middle ...
filmed.
ended up in il mulino new york - the miami arm of the big apple's favourite italian restaurant. the chef is the VERY excellent ... michele mazza. he prepared for me the GREATEST, MOST FABULOUS spaghetti carbonara i have have ever, ever, ever had. i had to eat two full plates of the stuff because it was so delicious. alex and tim were appalled.
the hotel looks out over the atlantic - has white sandy beaches ... and it's just perfect! i am sad i am not staying there ... BUT one day ... maybe very soon ... i will be there. the gm and pr are lovely and the whole place has a feel of pleasant affluence ...
i will NEVER forget that meal though...
then a 30-minute drive to the ritz-carlton key biscayne ... i have not stayed in a r-c for work in a while ... a fab start though when the adorable pr rachel pinzur met us with strawberry cocktails and my suite had a goodie-basket filled with golf stuff AND a wee bag of stuff for the moo.
the next few days are setting themselves up nicely ... i see fun, food and flying in my crystal ball!
