Stayin' at Setai

So I stayed at the Setai hotel last night. $400 for the room, $380 for the massage...and I was feeling like a queen. Actually I was feeling robbed! Well, the massage at 10:30pm was wonderful, just before I crawled into bed. Here are some pictures from the room:
Then waking up in the morning...never really sure what time it is because how often I travel through, across, over and in between time zones...I looked at my clock and it read 6am. I thought...cool, I have a chance to work out. I went downstairs, through the lobby of the hotel and walked outside - where 4 bell boys issued a warm "good evening" to me. I said..."good morning." Just at that moment, I noticed a very tall black woman with short dress, almost could be called a shirt, and the highest of heels passing by. She was doing the walk of shame at 6am (or was it 3am). Just at the moment when I was stretching my legs before my early AM jog, a van came to a screetching halt...where the door slide open and three young men with plastic cups were woooooing this woman. She ignored them. Now, in plain sight...these gentlemen put the car in reverse and started going backwards to track the woman. Just then an unmarked police car stopped them in their tracks.

Just a typical morning in South Beach on Collins Avenue.
Oh...and as I was running on Lincoln Road...I noticed the historic time piece on the clock tower read...6:20am.
