Delayed Events From Our Trip

OK, so I know I said I would fill everyone in on the details once I got back but I guess I got a little distracted this week. Miami was great, but to explain why it has taken a while to blog about it I must make a side note...

*** In an effort to get my house to the point where it could be sold for top dollar in today's only so so market, my parents and I have been slowly making some improvements over the years. Some have been structural and some cosmetic. Well the latest in ideas was to have all the windows replaced. Yeah! I thought what a wonderful idea. The bid came in and was reasonable. Just before this however we decided to have someone crawl under the house and check on the moisture issue's and see what it was like under there... Big Mistake! Turns out that some Rodents of Unusual Size have been going crazy under there and have ripped out all the insulation and duct work... Oh yea there is also a leaking sewage pipe that is creating a sink hole under my bathroom. Needless to say, I am not getting new windows. All of you apartment dwellers should be very happy right now and not jealous of people that live in houses.
So all of this we found out at the end of last week just before I left. Then on Tuesday morning the English version of Andy shows up at my house and starts ripping everything out from underneath my house and I have ended up moving into the room over the garage at my parents house. Until further notice I have NO AC/HEAT, yes it has been warm enough a couple of days already to turn on the AC if we wanted, and I have no bathroom usage.

Past all the above mentioned, Rachel and I had a lot of fun in Miami. We arrived Friday evening and went straight out to dinner with her sister Rebeca. A nice little Spanish place. Having been up early that morning we decided to head back to her dorm at UM and catch up on a nights sleep without the dogs around. For those of you with animals/children I think you understand how wonderful a thing sleeping without them is. Saturday morning we ate at a local hot spot in Coral Gables and then heading to South Beach. This trip was centered around eating just so you know. South Beach was quite something. I have always considered Charleston to be filled with very pretty people if you catch my drift. SB however had an unbelievable ratio of Hot to not Hot people. I have never seen more bare skin in my life. After walking around and stopping to enjoy a $30 pina colada I was ready for a nap. We headed back to the dorm to get a little rest in before heading out that evening to Joe's Stone Crab. This place was perhaps the best yet most overpriced seafood place I've ever been. I couldn't believe what they were charging. Oh well...
Moving on to Sunday, the only thing I really wanted to do while down there was eat Cuban food. We ended up at the Cuban equivalent of the S&S Cafeteria but it sure was good. There were other places we stopped in and things we did but the food we they main excitement for the weekend.

OK well now I'm tired and need to go back to work. Although mom and dad are in Tucson for some Law things so I will probably go back to ABC/NBC/CBS.com and catch up on some old episodes.
Bye for now!
