Beautiful Brickell

Miami’s Brickell section is a beautiful location to enjoy sports, food and shopping. I recently stayed at SLS Brickell Miami, great for a spontaneous romantic getaway. It features a fully equipped gym, a rooftop pool and a spa. The hotel has a unique theme, darkly lit yet highly artistic. I was amazed not only by the attentive customer service but also by the comfort of the bed and the size of the balcony most rooms had, overlooking the skyline of Miami.

Remarkable Medellín

Visiting Medellín in Colombia: The Country of Beauty is like stepping into a fantastic story — literally, as the city in the Western Colombian Andes region inspired Disney’s Encanto.

The second time I stayed just a bit south in Brickell, at AC Hotel by Marriott, not far from Brickell City Centre (which is fabulous and has since expanded my Zara wardrobe considerably). On this most recent trip, I was in town with a couple of colleagues to attend Seatrade Cruise Convention, and I stayed at Gabriel South Beach.

The Best Pistachio Ice Cream

Last week I got the chance to indulge in the best pistachio ice cream I’ve ever tasted. This soft-serve ice cream novelty was churned in a small, locally owned Italian restaurant on Ocean Drive in Miami, Forte dei Marmi. My main course consisted of octopus and artichoke salad, and my colleague Carrie’s was the special of the night, lobster ravioli, while my other colleague Kim’s was fresh-caught sea bass and potatoes.
