Miami

Well we are now in Orlando, nearing the end of our hols but on the way we spent 3 days in Miami. It was fab, we went to SoBe (South Beach) Check out the food, yum!!


South Beach is full of the most gorgeous Art Deco architecture.

Of course there are miles and miles of white sand and gorgeous tanned skinny women (ugh!)

We stayed at a great hotel in Coral Gables, our room was the one under the arches at the very top right of the photo - blisssss

Whilst we were out and about I spotted a Michaels Craft Store, I stopped to grab some crafting magazines and spotted a book edited by Sarah Crosland the editor of Crafts Beautiful and it had some of my cards in it!!! I knew it had been published but hadn't been able to find a copy in the UK I was so chuffed!

Last Saturday we headed on up to Orlando, we are staying in a Disney Hotel, the Wildernes Lodge. I am such a sap for Disney and I have been here about 6 times but never stayed in a Disney Hotel. I know a lot of people think that Disney is naff, but I don't care. I still get a lump in my throat when I walk down Main Street in The Magic Kingdom, and if there are cast members singing and dancing it sets me off again.

Wilderness Lodge is themed on a great Western wooden lodge, the lobby is AMAZING and I did shed a tear when I walked in, it's been a challenging year and I was so happy to be here.

I'll post some more pics and stories about Disney when we get home, incidentally you get free admission to a theme park on your birthday here................my birthday is the day after we leave (great timing huh?)

Right I am off to hit the pool xxx
