I only have one exam (and less than a week) holding me back from enjoying the warm sun down in Miami. I have always wanted to have a spring break in warm weather, so this'll be a nice change.
The last three spring breaks, I...
- think I started training as a barback, which was nice because I like my job...
- I went to the Outer Banks with a bunch of people, which was also fun, but it was still cold in North Carolina at the time...
- and last year, I went to Jess' little sister's Bat Mitzvah and went to New York. Instead of going south for warm weather, I went up north to the cold.
And ever since I started trying to every advantage of my Marriott hotel discount, I've stayed at the Marriott Marquis in New York for only $79/night for a $400/night room, a few other rooms for cheap, and I was supposed to go to Florida last year with Jess for $69/night. In Miami, I saw this deal for a Courtyard Marriott on the beach for only $39/night and waited until after I got out of one of my classes to book it, but it was gone. So I had to settle for three nights at this other hotel for $49/night and a couple others for a little more.
But I'm excited. And I just thought of it today...I think we're gonna go to a spring training game the day we're staying in Fort Lauderdale, and there's also a Pusser's Landing down there I'd be willing to visit (it's not Torola or Marina Cay, but it's still a new experience).
