The motel seems like a truly underestimated type of
accommodation. In books or movies you always hear people talking about a sleazy
motel, a ramshackle motel, a creepy motel even, but a pleasant one rarely gets
mentioned. Do they not exist? Why of course they do! You just have to be brave enough to take a risk.
Unfortunately we can’t all be rolling in money
but if we were I’m sure we’d be travelling in style. And this means gloriously
luxurious hotels. Since a little daydreaming never harmed anyone, this is what
we’ll be focusing on today: crazy, over-the-top luxurious and, most of all, extremely
expensive hotels in America.
This award-winning hotel and spa is truly a
perfect place for decadent relaxation. If you’re a hands-on kind of person who
likes to do things for yourself, stay far far away because here you can get a butler
to run your bath for you with such skill that it will be the perfect bathing
temperature when you walk in from your day on the slopes. He’ll even cover the
foamy top with some rose petals.
A huge rooftop Jacuzzi/swimming pool
overlooking the Strip, a rotating bed and an elevator made entirely out of
glass. Ofcourse there’s also a bar, a fitness area and a sauna at your
disposal. If you want to vacation like the ultimate Playboy, this is most
definitely the place to be.
When staying in this luxurious suite, you can
enjoy a 360° view of Manhattan from 52 stories high. Champagne, caviar and a personal
chauffeur and butler are readily available to you 24 hours a day. You’ll
definitely sleep like a baby in the $65.000 bed covered in sheets that are
embroided with 24 karat gold threads.
Sounds good? The suite will set you back a
mere $45.000 a night.
Now that we have a clear vision of what places
we’ll be visiting in Florida, it’s time to move on to the next important issue:
accommodation. A good night’s sleep is vital to survive everyday life but on
holiday it’s extra important. Looking like a (sleep)drunk badger might not be
that much of a waste at work/school but when you’re on holiday you want to make
the most out of every minute.
In the previous post we mentioned the enchanting effect Miami
can have on people and that many have been inspired by this city. One of the most awesome and
well-known songs that have been made is –at least according to us- Will Smith’s ‘Miami’.
This song was a huge hit in the nineties and was one of the first singles that I
bought from the music store. So today, in the spirit of everything Fresh
Prince, we’re going to do a breakdown of this hit song to get you in the mood
to par-tey!
Here I am in the place where I come let go Miami the base and the sunset low Everyday like a mardi gras everybody party all day No work all play okay.
Remember Duval Street? Although I doubt Mr. Smith will be
spending his time there, the partying will probably be the hardest on Duval
Street.
So we sip a little something lay the rest the spill Me an Charlie at the bar running up a high bill Nothin less than ill when we dress to kill Everytime the ladies pass, they be like: Hi Will!
Dress to kill is most definitely the motto of Ocean Drive
and other places where the glamorous folks hang out in Miami.
Can y'all feel me, all ages and races Real sweet faces Every different nation, Spanish, Haitian, Indian, Jamaican Black, White, Cuban, and Asian.
You see? Even Will Smith assures you that this place is a
fabulous melting pot of all different cultures.
I only came for two days of playing But every time I come I always wind up staying This the type of town I could spend a few days in Miami the city that keeps the roof blazing
I doubt that we’ll be jumping to get away from this place.
And if a superstar like Will wants to stay here, who are we to think otherwise?
Party in the city where the heat is on All night on the beach till the break of dawn Welcome to Miami, bienvenido a Miami Bouncing in the club where the heat is on All night on the beach till the break of dawn I'm going to Miami Welcome to Miami
Truly a great recap of what Miami is all about. Cause a
party can be interpreted many ways so from a passionate Cuban dance party to a glamorous
night out in one of the hottest clubs, Miami has it all. Better practice those dance moves.
Yo I heard the rainstorms ain't nothin to mess with But I can't feel a drip on the strip, it's a trip.
Guess he didn’t visit during hurricane season…
Ladies half-dressed, fully equipped And they be screaming out: Will, we loved your last hit!
Beautiful bodies? Must be South beach. And Will did stack up
the hits in his days so the babes have a good point.
So I'm thinking I'm a scoot me something hot In this south-sea meringue melting pot Hottest club in the city and it's right on the beach
Again with the melting pot and the glamourous clubbing
spots. This man sure knows what he’s talking about.
Temperature get to ya it's about to reach Five-hundred degrees In the carribean seas, with the hot mommies Screamin: ay, papi!
It comes as a surprise to no one that it can get quite
sweaty and hot in Florida and Miami is no exception.
Every time I come to town, they be spotting me In the drop Bentley, ain't no stopping me So, cash in your dough And flow to this fashion show Pound for pound anywhere you go Yo ain't no city in the world like this An if you ask how I know I gots to plead the fifth
Good advice from mr. Smith himself. Get your beach body
ready and put on your best (fake) designer brands, guys! Party in the city where the heat is on All night on the beach till the break of dawn Welcome to Miami (bienvenido a miami) Bouncing in the club where the heat is on All night on the beach till the break of dawn I'm going to Miami Welcome to Miami Don't get me wrong, Chi-town got it going on And New York is the city that we know don't sleep And we all know that L.A. and Philly stay jiggy But on the sneak, Miami bringing heat for real.
It’s not a competition in any way but Miami sure is killing
it!
Y'all don't understand I never seen so many Dominican women with cinnamon tans Mira, this is the plan Take a walk on the beach draw a heart in the sand Gimmie your hand Damn you look sexy. Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer,…
Let's go to my yacht in the West Keys Ride my jet skis loungin in the palm trees Cause you gotta have cheese for the summerhouse piece on South Beach Water so clear you can see to the bottom Hundred thousand dollar cars, every body got em Ain't no surprise to see in the club to see Sly Stallone Miami my second home
The perfect summary of what we hope to see in Miami!
As if this analysis wasn’t exciting enough for you, we’ll
post the video of Will’s clip right here for you to enjoy. If that doesn’t get
you in the mood for vacation, I don’t know what will.
Here it is, the last part of our detailed look
into our route throughout Florida.
Last week, we ended up in the Everglades and Homestead. From there on out we’ll do some
island-hopping towards the insanity that is Key West
and we’ll end our vacation amongst the beautiful people in bubbling, glamorous Miami. Let’s get moving!
This last part of our trip will definitely be
the most unconventional. The Florida Keys are
known not only for their key lime pie but also for their ‘kitschy’ lifestyle. The
inhabitants of the Keys truly live life the way they want to and everyone’s
quirky side isout there, loud and proud. It’s the perfect place to separate yourself from
the rest of the USA
and just chillax. &Let’s be honest here, who doesn’t like the sound of
that?
