My FIRST SOLO Vacation!

I wanted to go to MIAMI so bad, but I didn't have the balls to take a solo vacation. So I joined the women who travel Facebook group, and that helped me a lot to muster up the courage to go it alone. I wish my boyfriend could of come with me, but he was stuck with work. I decided I would just book all the tickets, all the tours and GTFO! It was freeing. I never felt so FREE in my life.

When i arrived in my hotel the first time---I felt so much anxiety---how will I do this---ALONE? Then, I went to sleep with my first day being A ME DAY. I slayed on the beach in the AM--the ocean water hit my feet and I just knew---I would never be the same person again. NO one tells you that JOMO is so needed. It has become my new philosophy of life. I miss out on things now, and it's joyful. I USE TO FREAK OUT IF I WASN'T INCLUDED. I can't believe that was me. I WOULD HAVE FOMO....and more FOMO. Now, I know better. It is all inside you----you are your own universe. And the more I felt connected with myself----the more the universe talked me.

I spontaneously ended up in Hemingway house in KEY WEST, his love for cats---spoke to me. He was an amazing writer and he loved cats.....This was the universe again whispering to me. Then, I went to the key west warm beach marina. My heart raced fast as I dunked my head under water. My only goal for my vacation was to have my hair covered in beach water everyday. Miami was filled with great Cuban food, art from wynwood walls, and a light , laid back VIBE. JOMO--MIAMI, was all jomo.

My last day, i went to little havana for my last hour---last call. I salsa'ed it out of there, came to the airport, a little tipsy and with glitter on my eyelids---I was MIAMI. My flight got delayed one more hour---again it was the universe whispering to me, "Ok, I will give you another hour." And that hour, just made MYSELF again.

Prior to my vacation, I FELT almost sucked dry of energy----juggling two businesses, 4 cats, 1 boyfriend, living in the BURBS, commuting and more commuting. IT HAS BEEN rough. I kept feeling like when is it gonna give me a break? I didn't have 1 FULL day for myself IN 6 MONTHS. No cats, no bf, no work and no tri-state area. If I ever questioned if I was a introvert at heart, I def knew now. I knew I needed to GTFO, just so I can really be BY myself.

COMING BACK---i am super TAN and I miss my vacation. It kind of makes me emotional. NEED TO PLAN ANOTHER ONE!
