My Vacation by Kimikims

We drove to Miami from Longboat key on a whim.

I had been to Miami as a little kid and all I remembered was the fontainebleau and a swingset on the beach.

This time we stayed 3 days at The Royal Hotel.
It was space agey but no flowers or computer in the room like the picture in the lobby.

South Beach is full of pretty, pretty forrawners except for the beach on 11th and Ocean Drive which is full of ugly nude German chicks and fat, hairy daddies in speedos.

Kevin's niece and nephew asked Kevin, ''What's wrong w/Aunt Kim's legs that she has scars all over them?  Was she in an accident?''

Their beagle Snoopy LOVED me.  Sometimes literally.  He's fixed but he kept jumping on the bed and humping me. One time I punched him in the snout.   Another time I said to Kevin, ''let's let him keep doing it and see if he ejectulates.''
Kevin made him stop after 5 minutes because he said it was upsetting to watch so we never got to conclude my private experiment.

We went to Little Havana and walked and drove forever trying to find plucky little elian gonzalez's house but never did.

I bought a beautiful shirt at
La Casa de las Guayabera but the sales lady was very dissaproving because Kevin insisted I try it on 'for that money' and she kept huffing that the shirt was for 'the gentlemens'.

She kept trying to steer me to these scary senorita blouses.

we got blinded by the sea spray in longboat key!
 
We had to lie in our resort room w/wet towels on our eyes til the stinging went away.

we ate so much paella and seafood and cuban food on vacation

I am getting so germaphobic. I lie on the hotel beds and pillow and think ''come sponge...I am on a giant, filthy come sponge.....''

our hotel was right near Versace's old house and everytime we passed some tourist was posing on the steps like they were shot and some dumbass was taking their picture.

all the Bush/Cheney stickers in Little Havana.

Way to be one issue voters.

I was surprised how for smooshed everything was.  Vesrace's place hemmed into the cafenew stand 2 steps to the street two steps to the grass an step to the beach. crime scenes in my head are spread out.

I'm super smiley and strangers usually smile at me.I look happy.

Miami beach wasn't a smiley town.  not rude but deadpanned.

chicago, vancouver, paris =very smiley
