Our trip ended with a stay at the Le Meredian Resort in Sunny Isles Beach. We arrived from the ship early, and our room was not ready (sound familiar?). Well, we had quite a different experience waiting for our room this time. They suggested we change into our swimsuits and enjoy the beach - which we gladly did. The beach attendants set up chaise lounges and a nice large umbrella for us. We immediately got in the water - it was warm and clear, hard to believe that this was the Atlantic Ocean! We had a lovely day at the resort.
The next day was my shopping day! The Aventura Mall is a large two story mall with wonderful major department stores, and many upscale smaller stores. We enjoyed the cool indoors (as outdoors was quite hot, humid and complete with thunderstorms). We shopped and had lunch, I bought a baby gift (the cutest little girl outfit) and a new first day of school outfit, all on sale I might add. After lunch, we headed back to the resort with the plan of enjoying the beach again. Thunderstorms started up again however, so much for another beach day. We found a wonderful Italian restaurant within walking distance for dinner - which was the perfect end to a perfect trip.
Our flight was at 7am the next day, so lots of flying and our Miami trip seems a world away. We wanted to turn around and go back to the warmth, the pampering, the sightseeing and that beautiful, warm clear ocean!
