The husband and I just spent a week in Miami Beach!!!  He went for work training and I tagged along.  The training didn’t get approved until 1 week before, so we booked everything in a rush and, I have to say, I kind of loved it.  I didn’t have time to over-analyze everything, over-plan, or over-book.  I just did a quick check on what seemed like the best restaurants, booked those, and that was it!  No time to stress about anything.  It also worked out that it was just after all the Spring Break madness, so it wasn’t too crowded and reservations were easy to get.

We stayed at the Fontainebleau Resort in Miami Beach (which is also where Jasper’s training was).  It is huge, and gorgeous, and reminded us of Las Vegas (which is apparently what they are going for, so good job).  On one side of the hotel is the pool complex and the beach.

The other side of the hotel is the, also beautiful, marina.  There are four towers of rooms, and we stayed in the tallest one – the Tresor.  This was actually a complementary upgrade given to us at check-in, because it was our first time in Miami.  Check-in was super fast and easy and the employee who we dealt with was incredibly friendly and helpful.  Major points to service, there.
