The Setai – Miami

This past Memorial Day Weekend was, in a word, bliss.  We were in Miami with two very close friends, and I took four real days off from work.  No Facebook, no Twitter, no blogging… nothing.  It’s so easy to forget the importance of unplugging… this weekend proved to be an excellent reminder.  We stayed at the Setai in South Beach, which I can not say enough good things about.  With three pools (yes, three – at three different temperatures,) direct access to the beach, and an incredible restaurant + bar; I was in heaven.  For the most part, we hung out at our hotel and pool area – there wasn’t much of a reason to leave.  (We did manage a visit to Bond Street… my favorite – I could probably eat seventeen orders of their truffle tuna tarts!)  We arrived home rested, relaxed, and ready to conquer the universe (and to seriously detox – I’ll be at the gym and drinking green juice all weekend!)

P.S.  Happy June… where did the time go!?

    Being born and raised here in Miami, I was so happy to see how much you enjoyed yourself. It gives me new appreciation when I see pictures of my area taken by others—-seeing familiar territory through a “new set of eyes”. Happy June back at you and I hope you’ll return to our area someday soon! 🙂

    What a gorgeous place. Looks like you had great weather, luckily! I’ve only been there once but didn’t stay overnight or explore much.
