Miami

So the call came late on Friday that Rob needed to stay even longer to finish up the work he started here in Miami. So given the fact we had been separated for over a month, LAM decided to fly me out to Miami. My work was very understanding and allowed me the day off on Tuesday. So I packed my bags and barely made the flight on Saturday (I was flying stand by)

The night I arrived we had a wonderful Argentine meal with my parents and headed back to the motel. The main purpose of me coming to Miami was to spend time with Robby, relaxing and catching up on the past month. It has been hard to accomplish either in the brief three days I am here. Time spent away from the office, for Robby, means the longer he is here. He enjoys it here, as much as you can enjoy anything after a while- living out of a suitcase.

So we spend Sunday and Monday just relaxing. We spent hours at the coffee shop and even ventured into the local mall. I tried my best to make sure he ate and slept, as I know he often doesn't when left to his own devises.

I think Robby did finally relax but just in time to jump back into things. So I think when he gets back home to Phoenix there will need to be at least a week of recuperation.

There are so many things we love about Miami. The people are friendly. The diversity is amazing. I get to speak Spanish and eat my favorite foods. It reminds me of being home in Argentina. It is beautiful. It feels like in many ways I am back home- but without my home!

One thing that takes a while to get used to is the pace of life here. It is so much slower. I struggle with this, as does Rob. We are so used to efficiency and making use of every minute of the day. We went to McDonalds last night for a quick bit to eat. 25 minutes later they finally gave us our order...so much for a quick meal...I guess this is what we get for eating at a fast food joint (yuck!).

So I am getting ready to head back to Phoenix and jump back into work and school. But continue to keep us in your thoughts as it is heart breaking to be heading back without him!
