I have spent way too many hours over the last few days scouring the internet for flights to Miami with less than 10 stopovers and hotels that weren't $450 a night. Since thousands of DJs and dance music fans from around the world descend on South Beach for the last week of March, this is no easy feat, no matter how early you book it. Hotels in South Beach are not that expensive if you go any other time, but during WMC - all bets are off. But, with some extremely creative travel booking skills and a near breakdown, we are finally all set for our trip, with good flight times and a fabulous yet not very expensive hotel. Thanks to our Starwood Amex card and a combo of using points and their 1/2 off discount, we'll be lounging on the beach and away from the madness at Le Meridien during the day and clubbing all night in South Beach. If you like to travel and stay at uber luxurious hotels without paying much, I would highly recommend getting the Starwood Amex.
Anyhoo, I cannot wait to get there, 2 weeks from tomorrow - especially since it is 1 degree in MN today. We had such a fantastic time last year hanging with our DJ friends from Minneapolis, listening to amazing music while sipping cocktails in the pool at the Beatport Pool Party, being treated like VIPs at every Kaskade show from Opium Garden to Crobar and even dining au deux at Danny DeVito's restaurant. The food was amazing and we spotted several celebs, including Mena Suvari and Anna Kornikova. This year, Kaskade is spinning at Nikki Beach, BED and the Ultra Festival so I will be bringing my dancing shoes, in addition to flip flops. It's on.
