All Aboard!

Greetings, friends.

As I am inherently OCD, I am currently sitting in the boarding area of my flight to Miami…3 hours before it takes off, munching on an (overpriced) bagel and coffee.

(Life’s small pleasures.)

Frustratingly, wi-fi is not free in this terminal, and I had to purchase a day pass. In order to make said day pass a business expense, please allow me to share the tale of why I am going to Miami this fine (rainy, bleary) day.

A few weeks ago, I received an email from VW (Yes, the beetle people!). Apparently, this week is the beetle’s birthday - and the company is celebrating by inviting a handful of editors to South Beach for a few days of fun in the sun. On the itinerary is what I have been calling the “10 pounds in 3 days” plan - each day includes dining at celebarazzi restaurants, “cocktailing” and beach parties. Plus, I get to drive around in a beetle tomorrow afternoon!

As the only way I could mentally negotiate jumping ship for half the week was to consider it work, I shall be blogging live-action updates daily. (Perhaps while brimming with Champagne) - including photos! (Said will not happen while wearing a bathing suit.)

For now, I must go wander through this Duty-Free thing…
