Spring 2021 – Day 5

We again go up late, but still made it out of the room by 11:00am.

The weather is unbelievably perfect. Virtually no clouds and very hot sun.

We stayed on the beach until about 2pm and then went to a Columbian restaurant where we have shrimp in a wonderful garlic sauce with a salad and rice combination.

After the late lunch we rode around with the top down looking at the fabulous homes in this area.

Then we came back to the hotel to freshen up and heading to an area in Surfside which has 10 neat restaurants in a 2-block area.

We choose a Greek restaurant and had a Greek salad and Sea Bass on rice. We usually split an entrĂ©e for dinner and this was a huge portion – but we finished it all.

After dinner, we came back to the hotel and had one of their complimentary drinks and then it was time to go to bed.

Tomorrow will be fun as we are meeting our contact in the Celebrity gambling area for dinner at a Cuban restaurant in Little Havana.

Spring 2021 – Day four

When we woke up, we decided that we had too much sun in a couple of sensitive areas so we did not go to the beach.

Instead, we first went to lunch at a Cuban restaurant and we had a favorite sandwich of the Cuban people, a Cubano.

Then we came back to the hotel and laid out on the pool deck for a few hours.

We then came in and cleaned up and drove around a couple of islands looking at some amazing houses.

After that, it was time for dinner. We wend south to the town of Surfside and ate tuna sushi and a choclate warming cake with ice cream at a popular kosher restaurant.

We then went to the Hard Rock Casino and first watched the light show on the main hotel building, which is shaped like a huge guitar. Hard Rock has completed a major expansion and the place is huge with a 140,000 sq ft casino and it was jammed.

Next was the casino where Barb didn’t play and Ed lost a little.

That’s all from Thursday.

                                                                What we left of lunch

                                                               The pool deck

                                                                         !!

                                                                    Outside for dinner

                                                                        Dinner was excellent

                                                        Going out for the evening

                                                        Outside the Hard Rock Hotel
