Benvenido a Miami

Have you ever thought about visiting the Bahamas? I have. In fact, I've thought about it quite a lot lately. I've thought about it so much, in fact, that I've just booked two round-trip non-refundable tickets to Miami.









W T F ?









Have I MET myself? Have I SEEN my greenish-shade-of-opaque-white skin that should NOT be touched by the sun's fertile rays? Have I remembered the fact that I haven't owned a bathing suit since the age of 12 (for VERY good reasons)?









And have I ignored these questions and gone ahead and booked the flights to Miami?






Hells yes.












Damn you Will Smith, if you hadn't made your party song so much like a "call to arms" maybe I would have thought through it a little bit before booking a vacation that requires a few things that I Don't have.






Miami Beach Body



Swimming Suit



Tannable skin



Watersport mentality



Affection for the outdoors









Instead, my suitcase will be filled with turtle neck sweaters, long pants, SPF 7O+ sunscreen, an old lady hat, an umbrella, a bottle of aloe, a bottle of excederine, and possibly a few phone numbers to the local paramedics.




I'm so lucky that my husband forgives me for my craziness LONG before it presents itself.




Why not?.....He gets a trip to the Bahamas!




This was me on a particularly masculine day.
