May we take a moment to commiserate the fact that some days just pose unending challenges? Ironically, yesterday’s post raved about my passion for travel; this particular experience, however, was certainly in opposition to my wanderlust. Multiple delays, missed connections, and inflated taxi expenses were not in our favor. Nonetheless, the impeccable service and hospitable welcome (not to mention the “homemade” plantain chips) of The Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne easily trump and rapidly overshadow any mishaps from previous hours.The holiday cheer pervades amidst the palm trees and balmy weather. A glorious respite from daily life and a marvelous vacation this will surely turn out to be.
A few images follow that encapsulate the beauty of these surroundings.
