LOL!! I believe it!
 
My sister and I will be there :) :) I can't wait!!! We aren't doing any excursions, just hanging out by the pool all day. Can't wait to meet everyone!!
 
Dh and I will be there! Getting super excited. Still trying to figure the attire thing out for both of us. I have a few sudressess. I will most likely be in flip flops the whole time. (although that makes dancing a bit difficult)

I'm having serious difficulty with clothing being 17 weeks, well 19 weeks pregnant once we're there. There is hardly ANY maternity clothes in stores anymore not to mention SUMMER maternity clothes! ARGH!

And the things I did manage to find just got ruined by a stray crayon in the laundry. :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:
When are you due, I think we are really close, I am about 16 weeks pregnant.
Also I don't know about your area, but here Target,and Old Navy have Maternity, Kohls, Macy's(they carry Motherhood Maternity), and Gap. I hope you can find some things, I hate buying summer maternity!

I am 17 weeks now.

Yes, all those stores have things but have VERY VERY VERY little selection and have NOTHING for summer yet. Well, Target had ONE, yes ONE style of maternity shorts and that was it!
 
We are still deciding where to eat on Monday and that will determine our South Beach plans. Yes, we plan our vacations around restaurants.

Jeff from Top Chef cooks at the DiLido Beach Club at the Ritz Carlton, but they only do lunch on Tuesday. So we're still figuring that out.

I kinda wanted to check out Gloria Estefan's restaurant but I just want to go somewhere that serves authentic Cuban food since I've never had it before. I actually have a friend I graduated with who lives in South Beach and I think I'm going to ask her to recommend something.
 
I can post the file here if everyone is OK with that. Does anyone else want to get added to the contact sheet?

Here is a stupid question...
Is anyone bringing beach towels or do you plan to use the hotel towels? My DH thinks we should just use hotel and save room in our luggage.

You know, that occurred to me last night! Does the hotel provide them? If so, I'm going to save the room in my luggage! Same with blow dryer, shampoo, soap, etc.!

I've been to Estefan's restaurant and it is FANTASTIC.

Not bringing towels.....did anyone check the hotel website to see if they are provided? I just kinda assumed they were.

I would think that the hotel would provide them. I am upset that I am going to have to pay to bring a suitcase. Hubby thinks I should be able to put everything in a carry on, since it is only 4 days- I don't think so!!!!!
