First week back to work

Yes, the holiday season is over. Today is the Monday on the first full week of work since mid December. No official work holiday until May 25th, Memorial Day, sigh.
With this past Saturday and Sunday being the first weekend of January, the Las Olas Art Fair was held. The are show takes place in downtown on Las Olas Boulevard, which is the local version of Rodeo Drive. The street is closed to traffic and vendors set up booths for about 6 blocks. The various artists display their work from custom jewelry to large lawn sculptures to bucolic landscapes to abstract murals. The weather over the weekend was fantastic and the street and sidewalks were packed. In fact, a little too crowded. There was a fairly large proportion of family memebers in attendance. Probably since this was a reputable show, and did not have puppets made from a sock type merchandise. The next one will be in March, hopefully it will not be as crowded.
The crowds in the bars will start to decrease now that the holidays are over. The out of towners are back at their jobs like the rest of us. There will still be a number of snowbirds that are escaping winter in their home cities.
The next big event is the Foodnetwork Food&Wine Festival in Mid February. All of the Foodnetwork' hosts and personalities will be attending. There will be cooking demonstrations with personal interaction with your favorites. Various vintners will also hold food/wine pairings. Good food, good wine, and some tasty chefs, what more could a gay man want?
The next weekend is the Winter Party in Miami. Basically a springtime version of the White Party 6 weeks ago held at Vizcaya. Though the Winter Party focusses more of its attention to the beach, with events on the beach, around pools, rooftop decks, and of course the local clubs.
So if any of these events sound good, why not check out Damron Vacations for flights lodging and a car? The agents are very familiar with the are and can direct you to a hotel that suits your needs. And with Damron Guide's over 40 years of information, a great get away is just a phone call away.
