I'm going to a conference for work tomorrow in Miami. In the old days of my work travel, my husband never went with me.... I went to LA, Nashville, Memphis, Chicago, Las Vegas, San Antonio and even Switzerland by myself. Now I don't travel as much for work, but my husband has discovered that travelling is fun - so he's going with me and I'll take some PTO days.
It's nice to travel for work and combine some down time. The conference is Tuesday and Wednesday - then we'll take off in our rental car (free - I used my miles I had racked up on those places I went alone!) and head down to the Keys. Have always wanted to go to Key West and see all of that. We're going to stay 3 nights at White Sands Inn. It looks to be our kind of place - low key, not too touristy. It has a kitchen and a BBQ. We'll stop at a store and stock up and mostly cook for ourselves. This place is in Marathon, FL which is about mid way in the keys - that way we can travel down to Key West one day - and explore Big Pine another day - and just relax.
I'll post some pics along the way - it's my goal to find some out of the way Cuban food. I've looked and not found much for recommendations, but my husband and I can always seem to find the divey out of the way good and cool places so we'll see.
Oh and I hate flying so tomorrow will suck.... It will be a long day with 3 plane changes. Then get the car and drive to downtown Miami - 3 nights at the Hilton where it costs $28.00 a night just to PARK.
We're not really big city people - but of course we'll make the best of it - and I did discover that some peers of mine from another Airline will be there - so it will all be good.
Will check in from Florida!
