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.
 
  • #57
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.!

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!!!!!
 
  • #61
I would think that a hotel the caliber of the Fontainebleau would provide beach towels. Since I'm driving, I'm planning to throw a couple in the car just in case they don't want theirs on the beach area. We are planning to visit my dad for a few days after in WPB so we'll need our towels for that too. I'm also bringing my beach umbrella, a cooler, and my bottle of Sapphire Gin ;) LOL
 
  • #62
I'm gonna remember to buy suntan lotion here before we leave too! I bet it's expensive there! LOL!
 
  • #63
I'm so excited! We'll all be hanging out together this time next week!!! I think I'm going to call to find out about beach towels. I thought I read somewhere there was a cost. I've bought two dresses and still need to figure out what I'm wearing the night we are on our own. I'm not sure if we are going to head to South Beach on Monday or not. Guess we'll just play it by ear. Gotta go to bed, I have a super crazy week with tons to do. I should start my Monday well rested :) :)
 
  • #64
I called today and they said towels are free. I asked about wifi cost and she said each room has a laptop in it that can access the internet for free. Just thought I'd let you all know :) Can't wait until this time next week!!!

He actually said, "what if I din't go?" It took massive restraint to not smack him!! And to reward myself I had some cookies!! LOL :D

Holy cow. Once that boy goes on this PC trip, he won't want to miss one EVER. He doesn't get it! My DH was SOOOO impressed by the very first trip I earned and gushes about all of the trips whenever it comes up in conversation. Don't worry, your husband should "get it" once he goes on this trip!!! (If not, well, THEN you can smack him!)

I leave tomorrow! I am FRANTICALLY packing right now. I had to go to the mall this morning to get a maternity bathing suit. Thank God my friend has taken Brendan for the day for me. I am going to give her a stone (Med Round one I earned but never use) as a thank you when I go pick him up. I have to pack me and DS...we are going to MIL's first, then DS is staying with her, so I need to remember lots of stuff.Which reminds me...need to sign a consent for medical plus copy our insurance card for her. One more thing to do!BYE!

When you guys get to the pool, save 2 chairs, and then call me, so I know which pool you are at, ok? (Sunday afternoon, we get in at 11:40, so I imagine we will be at the pool by 1 PM)

I wish we got in early. We don't get in Sunday until 3:00 PM. The person who gave me my flight info said she could have tried for an eariler flight, but stressed to me that check in isn't until 4, so it shouldn't matter. Oh well.
Can't wait, counting down and packing up. :sun:

We are leaving in the morning! I still haven't even packed yet. My black and white attire for Tuesday may end up being just black. My clothes must have shrunk in the closet...lol.

They are flying us out a day early in order to get us there on time. PC is great!

I hate when my closet shrinks my clothes. Have a safe trip.

The closet shrunk all of my clothes this go round. :D I borrowed some clothes from my sister and had to run out to the Motherhood store for a dress and a bathing suit before we left town.

It's an e-ticket, so you just need your ID.

See you all tomorrow!! I'll be the one with serious bags under her eyes from lack of sleep!!
