Scappatella, Escapada...
This year has been crazy busy and at times, rather hectic,
so now that
we are almost half way through 2012, I am
desperately craving a getaway!
Este año ha sido bastante loco y agotador, así que casi
llegando a mediados de 2012, estoy desesperada por una
escapada!

Un deseo por lugares distantes; el ansia por viajar. |
Miami by Garance Doré |
So, when Estebi told me last
month that he had business
meetings in June in Miami and asked if I'd like to
come,
I got excited. Then when he mentioned that we would be
staying on South Beach in a fancy hotel and that I would
have to keep myself entertained for three full days, I got
really excited. Keep myself entertained in Miami? REALLY!!??
Three days all alone to do nothing but shop! By myself!
In Miami! Yeah babe. I think I can handle that...

Así que, cuando Estebi me dijo el mes pasado que tenía un
viaje de negocios en junio en Miami y me preguntó si
quería ir, me emocioné. Y, cuando mencionó que nos alojaríamos
en South Beach en un hotel elegante y que tendría que
mantenerme entretenida por tres días, me emocioné aún
más. ¿Mantenerme entretenida en Miami? ¿¿¡¡Enserio!!??
¡Tres días sola para ir de compras! ¡Sola! ¡En Miami! Sí,
amor. Creo que me puedo
arreglar...

I will be jetting off today for ten days to relax in the
Fontainebleau Hotel, I know! I'll be not suffering...
Estaré volando hoy por diez días de relajación en el hotel
Fontainebleau, ¡Ya sé! No voy a estar sufriendo precisamente...

... garbage romance novels, summer dresses, sunshine, and
the feeling of having sand wiggle between my toes.
...novelas románticas basura, vestidos livianos, y la
sensación de arena rozando mis pies.
And the next seven days...It'll be just me and the hubby,
100% kid-less, with a lot of time on our hands, like the
good old days that sometimes seem so distant that I have to
pull out the photo albums to remind myself that they really
existed.
Y los siguientes siete días...Seremos solo yo y mi maridito,
100% des-niñados, con mucho tiempo en nuestras manos, como en
los buenas viejos épocas,que a veces parecen tan lejanas que
tengo que sacar los álbumes para comprobar que realmente
existieron.

As a source
of inspiration, I have assembled a list of 5 things
to do in our romantic
getaway.
Como fuente de inspiración, preparé una lista de 5 cosas para
hacer en nuestra escapada romántica.
1. Say “Yes” to everything.
1. Decir "Si" a todo.
Parasailing in Miami. |
It's just a list, I'm not that brave...Ok, I'll try it...
Es sólo una lista, no soy tan valiente...Bueno, lo intentaré...
Beach.cruising in Miami |
Ah! Beach-cruisers are my favorites! Especially around
South Beach...it is
flat and easy...That's more like me!
Ah! ¡Las bicicletas playeras son mis favoritas!
Especialmente en South Beach...Es simple y fácil...
¡Esto es más lo mío!

wear helmets on scooters makes it almost risky...I´m so brave!
Además, el Estado de Florida no exige cascos para bicicletas o motocicletas lo que lo hace casi riesgoso...Soy tan intrépida!
2. Wear something really pretty.
2. Usar algo realmente lindo.

Sometimes,
we just need a change of scenery and
a break from our day to day
responsibilities
in order to reboot and recharge. I always feel so
refreshed
and energized creatively after a vacation.
Algunas veces, sólo necesitamos cambiar de escenario
y cortar con las responsabilidades del día a día
pare podernos reiniciar y recargar. Siempre me siento
fresca , con energías y mucho más creativa luego
de tomarme vacaciones.
What about you? Will you be jetting anywhere
this month?
¿Y Tú? ¿Estarás volando a algún lugar este mes?

DeleteHugs, dear!
I did the same thing last October. We had fun trying all the different cuisines - Peruvian, pisco sours, Columbian food, etc. If you go to the Miami Seaquarium you can ride on a dolphin! The flying trapeze school downtown will let you learn trapeze! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'd love to try it, to ryde with dolphins...Thank you for the tip, Kathleen!, I'll tell you!
DeleteToday we are going to an haitian place...I'm excited about it!
Hugs!

Yo espero viajar tambien pero quizas en agosto o septiembre si la suerte me acompaña. (por lo de la visa y eso que miedo jaja).
Que estes muy bien, un abrazo!
Gracias Sue! en español está perfecto!, jaja!
DeleteSeguro que no vas a tener ningún problema y vas a estar por aquí (Miami) disfrutando del solcito!
Abrazos!
Ohhh my gosh!! INES!! You're going to have so much fun! My best friend lives in Florida, and we love the beaches there. Your mojito upside down pictures made ma laugh out loud. That's exactly why I stick to one! Too bad I'm not going to Florida this year. It would have been so much fun to meet you in person! :) Maybe someday!
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with this post. So much inspiring photos and words. It just makes me want to cuddle with my love ones and dance the day away. I just read your profile and it said you're an architect! I love that, I am an architect myself too although not working these days. Anyways I hope you'll come visit my blog sometime. Oh and btw I have a little giftcard giveaway running right now too. Hope you have fun on your trip. Very jealous.
