i'm a fan ...of the fan
alex is distracted
rest & relaxationin every city i have a "home" - somewhere where i feel i can curl up and sleep ... and feel entirely comfortable. the mandarin oriental miami is such a place ...
we left the fabulous turnberry quite early and arrived here just off brickell avenue in time for a very early breakfast and even earlier spa treatment - courtesy of gladys in the mandarin spa which is simply terrific. i had the kundalini - which uses semi-precious stones to chill you out!
then we filmed the whole hotel ... azul (restaurant), cafe sambal (trendy lunch place), public areas, pool, private beach ... yes - the ONLY private beach in the US ... which was man-made on the island where the hotel sits ... its called oasis and on friday there's "barefoot" - a huge party! i am off there later ...
we have a great driver with us here - festus from nigeria and a wonderful pr - tanya - who are looking after us.
i have just interviewed the general manager jorge gonzales -- who has been here 8 years ... and every time i come back, it still feels fresh!
long day tomorrow - last full day of filming!!!! whoo-hoo!!!!
