AIA National Convention Miami

Good Morning,

You know when you are trying to get away for a vacation and discover actually how much you can actually accomplish in a very short amount of time? Well that was what the staff at Architectura was doing the last several weeks.

We did manage to get out on time and arrived in the South Beach area to be greeted by President elect Penny Haley.

After check in we headed out for some sight seeing, and then ended up in the funky historic Jerry’s Diner, a former downtown cafeteria in the ‘30’s. The menu was eclectic and very much inspired. After dinner we strolled leisurely along South Beach checking out the Art Deco Hotels and boutiques. There were a lot of people out and about for a Tuesday evening.

Happening upon a cigar bar, we couldn’t help think of George Scaldoine, and his cigar afficiando-isms.

So early Wednesday morning we are enjoying Cuban coffee con leche on our hotels outdoor café seating area. Looking forward to a morning swim then off to the convention Center to register. We will be sending updates throughout the convention experience. ( this is my first Blog, so cut me some slack), cheers Steve and Jennifer Takatch, and Pres elect P Haley.

Looking forward to attending the New York State IBEX host party and the Kent State University Alum Reunion too
