December 27th to January 3rd 2005/06
Went to Miami again this past month...... Stayed at the Eden Roc Hotel. It's main claim to fame is that many of the stars of yesteryear visited the Eden Roc when they were in Miami Beach. Sinatra, Deano, Lucille Ball and many others were regulars. A great place.... still very nice and comfortable. Currently owned by Marriott yet you wouldn't know it when you visit. The Eden Roc still retains it's own personality and charm of days gone buy. Yet with all of today's modern comforts and expectations and a wonderful staff.
Found some new bars this time. My new favorite South Beach dive bar is Ted's Hideaway..........
A dark, casual spot that is in complete contrast to the normal "club" scene so prevalent around the area.
It's nice just to pull up a bar stool, order up and ice cold beer..... sit back and relax in a casual atmosphere. It's right around the corner from the Opium Garden..... so it gets the spillover crowd from there when the line gets too long.
Also went to Playwrights..... another casual "Irish Pub" type establishment with good beers on tap and plenty of sociable people.
Also visited Coconut Grove a few times..... always a nice experience.... good restaurants, good bars, beautiful women..... It has a more tranquil atmosphere compared to South Beach. So, it's nice to hang out in the grove for a change.
Spent a lot of time on the beach as well. It's always nice to relax in the sun.
Miami was over run with fans for the Orange Bowl game. So, we were surrounded with Penn State fans. Which in itself is not a bad thing. But, when you go to Miami to escape the Midwest, it kind of tough to be surrounded by the people that you have just flown 1200 miles to get away from.
I'm returning to Miami in February. Staying at the Marriott South Beach. (Coincidentally, right across the street from Ted's). Can't wait to get back to the beach, the bars, the scenery and the warm weather.....

Sunny 80's
Didn't write anything yesterday as there was not much to write and I was pretty tired.
Basically, we just spent the day going to the beach and hanging out at the condo.
Went to Coral Gables last night to go to some bars. But, after a short while, we were just too tired to stay out any longer. Returned home around Midnight. I think the combination of the sun, all of the walking on the beach and the sun really takes it out of you. I went without sunscreen yesterday and that was a mistake as I received a pretty good burn. Feeling better today though.
Today, I woke up around 9:00am and had some coffee. Steve and I went down to the beach to take one more walk and hang out one more time.
Returned to the condo and had some lunch. That KFC across the street comes in handy! Sure tastes good after a morning at the beach.
I took a twenty minute nap on the couch while Steve packed his bags and prepared to leave for the airport.
Then we left for the airport. Dropped Steve off at the airport and headed back to Key Biscayne. I'm spending one more night here in Miami/Key Biscayne by myself. Should be pretty low key as I really don't feel like eating out tonight or going out alone. Also, I'm leaving at 8:00am tomorrow and must be up early.
All in all, it was a great vacation and we both are still going to make an attempt at moving down here. I guess we both figure that there really isn't anything interesting going on in our present situation back home.
It sure would be interesting living down here as there is plenty to do, plenty to see and plenty of beautiful latinas everywhere you go.
Anyway, we'll see what happens.
Presently, I am sitting on the balcony enjoying a Partagas No. 2 cigar and enjoying a slight breeze off of the ocean.
What a way to spend the evening............

Woke up at 7:30am and had some coffee on the balcony. What a way to start your day. Watching palm trees blowing in a nice ocean breeze.
Went for a walk on the beach for about 2 miles. The water is probably around 70 to 75 degrees. Very warm.
Following our walk, we went down to tour an old house called Vizcaya. It was built in the early 1900's by an industrialist named John Deiring.
This was an awesome house located right on the ocean. Even has it's own huge carved stone docks. Anyway, it was very interesting.
Next, we drove up to Bal Harbor to see what it was like. I had heard many great things about it from my relatives who used to visit there in years past. Very nice place. The ocean was so blue there. Just like a photograph. Really unimaginable unless you actually see it yourself. Bal Harbor is a very well kept city. Apparently, former senator Bob Dole has a place in Bal Harbor. But, we did not run into him during our brief visit.
Next, we drove down to South Beach and then back to Key Biscayne for lunch. Just picked up something quick at KFC.
Went for an estimated 3 mile walk after lunch. (around 4:15pm) Upon our return, I mixed up some of the finest martinis ever concocted by man. Sipped martinis and enjoyed a great cigar on the balcony.
What a way to spend the week! Martinis, cigars and beautiful women everywhere you look.
Around 9:00pm, we called a taxi and went over to South Beach to visit some bars....
We ended up at the Breakwater Hotel drinking $5.75 Heinekens and watching two beautiful latinas dancing to the music of a guitarist named Alex Fox.
We're having a great time......

Woke up at 7:00 am this morning and had some coffee. Also, enjoyed a fine cigar.
We sat out on the patio and consumed large quantities of coffee. Then, we went down to the beach for a couple of hours.
Following that, we went to a place called Sundays Restaurant and Bar and had a sandwich for lunch.
Drove around Coral Gables for a couple of hours and then returned to Key Biscayne. Visited a shopping center where I bought some cigars and Steve bought some clothes.
Returned to the condo between 4 and 5pm and had some cold Heinekens and a fine AVO cigar.
Showered around 8:00 pm and took a cab back to Coral Gables to visit some bars.
I can honestly say that I have never seen such incredibly beautiful women as I have seen in the past few days. Everywhere you look there is a gorgeous woman.
Steve and I are awestruck by the sheer numbers of absolutely incredible women here.
Well, anyway, we returned home around 12:00am as we were both tired from our long day.
Going to South Beach tomorrow which should be just as incredible.
Time to hit the sack.
12:30am
P.S. We are both having sincere thoughts of moving down here.

Woke up around 8:00 am this morning and took a shower. Steve's mom fixed us scrambled eggs, bacon and coffee for breakfast. Then we all walked down to the beach and back to the condo before Steve's parents left for the airport.Steve and I then went to the store and bought some things that he had forgotten. We also stopped at the liquor store for some Martini ingredients.Upon arriving back at the condo, we mixed up some tasty Martinis before going down to the beach to relax.Spent almost two hours out there laying out in the sun. I put on plenty of sunscreen. So, I was not burnt. But, Steve took a pretty good beating by the sun and is now paying for it. He's as red as a lobster.Came back to the condo and watched some tennis on television and relaxed some more.Around 5:00pm, I mixed up some more Martinis and had some nachos and salsa.We then went to a restaurant up the street for a hamburger. This was probably a bad idea because we were both pretty filled up by then and didn't really enjoy it too much.Returned home and watched some of Jaws II...... Just what I needed to see before going back into the ocean tomorrow!Anyhow, we are both wiped out by our first day in Key Biscayne and it's time for me to hit the sack.Since Steve's parent left this morning, we won't have to share the same bedroom and I won't have to endure his snoring tonight. What a relief!!!!12:05am
