The days leading up to my departure for Miami Beach were spent refreshing weather.com with an alarming frequency. Wasn’t I leaving the Midwest to escape the endless rain and cool temperatures? Menacing weather icons told me my weekend away was going to be an unpleasant one, full of thunderstorms and high winds. So much for wasting away my days, napping underneath a beach umbrella. In the 11th hour, I accepted my fate and started researching indoor activities.
The Bass Museum of Art? Never made it there. The shops of Lincoln Road? Didn’t see a dime from me. Instead I was on the beach in full sun catching up with a friend and on my reading. How grateful I was that the forecast was way, way off. I may have not left a mile radius of my South Beach hotel, but it was exactly what I wanted.—Hilary Solan
