Rob and I are currently running out the door to gorgeous, sunny Miami Beach! That's right - we're going to the land of the Bluewater Billionaires. I'll be on the look-out for Beck Mason (of course), four female billionaires chillin' at a Drag Queen Brunch, and Frank the dirty-talking parrot. And if we swing by Lucky Dog, you know Rob and I will come home with ALL the rescue dogs!
There are a few reasons why we're ditching chilly South Philly for the tropical waters of South Beach:
1. February is my and Rob's anniversary month! Our very first date was on February 12th, 2010 which means we've spent a glorious decade together eating tacos, traveling across the country, drinking coffee around campfires, being obsessed with other people's dogs, then adopting our own dog, then being obsessed with our own dog, then turning our house into a veritable Dog Kingdom (Walter's bed is ALL of the beds!)....and I guess I wrote some books or whatever. Most importantly: DOGS. But as anyone who follows my Instagram knows...I'm low-key obsessed with my husband too. He's hilarious and handsome and really smart and super nice and a #1 Dog Dad. So it's only fitting that I take him to the beach and give him a bucket full of ice-cold Coronas.
2. It's really, really f%$#&*g cold out. And I just finished Freya and Sam's manuscript (wheeeeee!) Plus life is much too short. In summation: let's go to the f%$#&*g beach!
3. I spent alllllllllll those months researching Miami to write WILD OPEN HEARTS. Then allllll those months writing about the sand and the beaches and the nightlife. Seriously, you should see the group chats between me, Lucy, Pippa and Claire. It was like a love-letter to Miami and our dreams of drinking a cocktail while watching the sunset behind a row of swaying palm trees. I told Rob that if WILD OPEN HEARTS was successful, then he had to take me here as a present. SO OFF WE GO! I mean, he promised.
Thus - why I'm hurriedly stuffing bikinis and paperbacks into a bag and dashing out the door! We'll be there through Tuesday, so if I'm quiet on social media that's why. Although if I do post, it'll be over on my Instagram (so give me a follow if you need some wave-therapy).
When I'm back, I'll have some fun and amazing news for you about my spring book release (!). Until then, I'll see ya at the beach bar...
