waaaaaaahhhhhhhh
i'm alive!DAY 150??!! where has the year gone???????!!!!!!!
action packed day..
at first light we headed up to homestead, an hour from miami and met up with the guys from maimi skydive.
my first skydive was at lake taupo in new zealand ... i promised then that i would never do one again ... and here i am ... never say never obviously.
greg frank, my instructor, has jumped 12,500 times out of plane ... erm ... is that sane?
ANYWAY - yes, 13,500 ft, jump, waaaaaahhhhh, landed ... no bump .... NEVER again ...
after a brief rest and large glass of whisky, we headed to azul - the award-winning restaurant at the mandarin oriental, miami. i love this hotel.
last time i stayed here, i cooked with the adorable chef michelle bernstein ... but that was 3 years ago and now there's chef clay conley - who plays golf - so therefore he IS great!
so - we cooked two fish dishes, one with jack (fish) - a shashimi - and one with tuna - a curry ... both delicious and both supported by fabulous wines. more on the mandarin miami later in the week, when i am there...
phew - after this, we drove up to fort lauderdale to do something "different" ... a luxury yacht, luxury treaure hunt where the prize was a $50,000 diamond necklace. it's not the sort of thing we do but it worked quite well and tim & alex assure me that it will look great! so!
