Miami!!- My first Jaunt to the States!

Hello Hello!

Things are happening at 30. Even as I wrote this blog I thought of all the little things I have either attempted, decided on or just plain old stepped out and try. There is a boldness that comes with aging. Yes I said it, aging. I am proud to mature in age because I believe that my wisdom will be increased, don't you agree.

Exploring Sawgrass Mills area, Sunrise,Florida


So yes, it's been a minute. Life. But I have much updates. I had an amazing adventure in Miami Florida two weeks ago. It was adventurous in that it was my first vacation where I toured  for the most part by myself.

Scenic view as the play prepared to land

My trip was initiated by the fact that my mother had a workshop and I pretty much saw the opportunity to take a mini vacation and enjoy the luxury hotel. It was beautiful.

No regrets. It was all that an more. This was my first vacation alone. I know, i know. My mom was there but because she was otherwise engaged in her work activities I pretty much planned my days and hit the streets and it was so worth it.

There was inspiration in many places. I really felt refreshed and energized when I left. aaaaah Miami!!! :)

Financial District, Miami

There are a few reasons why I would definitely revisit:

1. The food.....yum yum yum ( I really wanted to try out this restaurant that I didn't get to.. La Camaronera..the fish just looked so good...so next time I will indulge) However my burgers and fries in the picture was the first meal on arrival, from one of the places I wanted to check out, Balans. Loved it..
yum yum- Balans Restaurant


2. The shopping- Sawgrass Mills Outlet mall in Sunrise was the bomb. Though I spent a day, I still think I was a bit rushed..lol but just like any short vacation, it leaves more for the revisit right...:)

3. South beach- I sat and ate my meal and walked around. But I didn't get to dip...so yes.. I need some beach interaction. water water water water! It was so beautiful.

4. Miami Trolley and Metro Mover- I didn't get to ride these. These are free transportation means available in the City...hahah

5. The shopping- ridiculous I tell you...I think I mentioned this already. but yes, the shopping.
On the Big Tour Bus



6. The last leg of my BIG BUS Tour. I wanted to go to the mall so I forfeited that part of the tour for a day at the mall.. you got to sacrifice right. I was trying to do what was on my list.
