One valuable trait I picked up quickly after relocating to Fort Lauderdale was how to balance work and play. Imagine working where people come to play! Whew. The advantage is when work is said and done, that vacation is only five minutes from your front door!
I spent last week vigorously patching up my resume and editing cover letters to send out to prospective employers. I had a lunch date with my internship supervisor at the popular downtown Las Olas restaurant Johnny V. By the end of my glazed salmon salad, we had discussed positions and locations for me to apply. I returned back to the office completely full and completely encouraged in my job endeavors.
By the end of the week I was over the "work" and ready for the "play." The weather called for a bright, sunny day (of course) and I knew exactly where to go. I grabbed my new beau and headed down Commercial Boulevard until we reached the ocean and one of my fav's, Aruba Beach Cafe. Ocean view and beach access? Check. Great food and drinks? Check. Great live music? Check. We ran into friends and co-workers and made sure to make friends with the bartender. We even talked her into changing the TV channels so I could watch the Gator game! Now that's service!
It was all just another weekend in paradise. Did I mention that I love this place?

So True! Any day not at work is a vacation day in sunny Florida.
