What Happens in Miami Stays in Miami.

ok...well maybe not all of it stays there...some of the kosher stuff can be talked about...so i was in south beach, miami this past weekend...for milan's bachelor party...all in all it was fun, tiring, and a bit of a strain on my student budget...but hey - once in a lifetime for the ol' guy....its worth it then...silly thing is that he's not even a bachelor technically...but thats a different story..ha

so we started fairly early...left ATL around 6:30AM....didn't get to south beach till about 6PM that night...crazy driving that much for a weekend...got a glimpse of star island but we never ended up going around it...thats where all the stars live - shaq and company...our hotel was a bit of a dump but it was in prime location...although we had to constantly play spy moves to get extra towels...so first night...we got ready...grabbed some grub right on the ocean...we got gypped though...the special was drinks - 2 for 1...turns out they just double-price the drinks...so you end up buying two regular-priced drinks...doh! then we chilled for a bit...headed back to the hotel to get our drink on...i had agreed to play along and broke my drink-fast...had some rum...got a good buzz...well as we got ready to go out...one of the guys fell sick from the alcohol...and then the other just got really tired...milan was pissed...then another friend of his flew in...we got some more grub....hung out for a while...and called it a night at about 3AM...

the next day...we went to the beach...it was a bit rough...but still fun...then from there we went back to the room...got ready for dinner...i really wanted cuban...but i don't think everyone else was on board...so we found a really cool mexican place - senor frog's...had a good meal and some margaritas...the tables were outside...so we could watch all the people walkin by...we made the perfunctory cat calls when necessary...tried to get milan to use some dirty pick up lines but he was too chicken...saw some crazy nice cars that weekend...bentleys, rolls royces, all rollin around like toyotas...it was nuts...later that night we went to a club called opium...stupid bouncer wouldn't let us in cuz we didn't have any girls with us (too much sausage i guess)...said he would let us in if we reserved a table - meaning cough up $600 for three bottles of champagne...uh no...so instead we headed over to a place called nikki beach...supposedly thats where the celebs hang out...it was a cool place to bring women...we had some crazy expensive drinks ($11 for a jack/coke) and headed back out...at this point it was 1AM and i headed back to the room cuz i had first shift driving...we had to wake up in 4 hrs...the guys went on to some seedy "gentlemen's club"...no thanks...

the next morning...we high-tailed it outta there...droppin our friend off at the ft lauderdale airport...the drive back home was long and uneventful...we did happen to visit historic hahira, GA...good subway franchise..ha...that was it...

Happy Bachelor's to Milan - hope he has a joyful marriage ahead cuz i ain't driving 24hrs for another bachelor party!!!! haha....laterz
