Back From Miami

I don't even know where to begin describing this trip. I will just start with saying that I think the Cox Bobble Head had more fun than we did. There were several of him floating around and he was photographed several places in Miami. The resort we were at in Miami was definitely not for the average person. It was a very expensive luxury resort. Just to give you an idea of the prices we were faced with, it cost us $43.50 to sit on the beach with 2 chairs and an umbrella. Needless to say we only did that one day. With my fair skin, we had to have an umbrella. (We were the only ones with a cooler on the beach. Everyone else just ordered what they wanted and it was brought to them. At around $16 a mixed drink and $7 for beer or soda, we brought our own.) We did not eat in a restaurant the whole time we were there. The average plate was about $35 a person with steak costing between $52 and $95. We found it cost less to dine in (about $20 a person) and then we ordered Pizza and ate on it for a couple of days. This is the first time in my life I have been to Florida and did not eat sea food. The only thing we found within walking distance was a Walgreen's where we got snacks and a liquor store. The cost to get to the indoor/outdoor mall (as seen on Miami Vice) was $45 a person. Needless to say we didn't go (by the time we got there we wouldn't have any money to spend) so we brought back no souvenirs. We walked the boardwalk which didn't have anything on it and car watched from our balcony. We saw Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, BMW's, Mercedes, and stretched limos coming to the resorts LIV Club. While at the Blue Bar (bar outside of LIV), one of the guys that was there with Cox ordered 2 drinks and it cost over $40 so he had the waitress take it back. I'm sure she wasn't happy. We didn't even bother going there. Another set of 4 people went out to a night club and it cost them over $300 to get in. That doesn't even count their drinks.
We had alot of strange looks from people who were there. I guess they could tell we were out of place. I didn't know I needed to wear short tight shorts and heels all day long. We were also the wrong shade of white and spoke English. Everyone there was a size 4 or smaller and extremely tan and spoke foreign languages. I'm sure the people who were willing to spend alot of money had a good time but I think the majority of the Cox people can say it was not a fun vacation. We can cross it off of the list of places we have been. We will not be going back!!!!!!! We are GLAD to be back in Arkansas where people are normal and speak REDNECK!

The cabanas have a flat screen TV, phone, and fridge. They rent for only $250 a day.

You even had to rent the chairs at the pool! Made me wonder if you got anything with the cost of the room.

The only drinks we had from the resort was the ones we got free at the Cox gathering.

The ocean was beautiful. I don't know what color you would call it maybe emerald green.

If you look close you can see the row boat. They were out every evening.

We saw Regis and Kelly.

We watched the paparazzi. (The lady dragging the cooler was a employee. . .)

My night pictures didn't turn out so good. I only took my little camera and couldn't get the setting right.

Scott helped with this post. Thank goodness he didn't take his "Welcome to America NOW Speak English" shirt with him.
