Took my sister to Miami as her early birthday present. It was a 2-day trip! My plan was to rent a car with a chauffeur who can drive us to Christian Louboutin store in Miami Design District, so my sister can buy her first pair of CL. My sister was shocked when she found out about my plan! She was just so happy! Everything went so well!
Transportation Service
I looked up for companies offering chauffeur services and found a company called A2Z Limousine. I reserved a week before my trip (credit card required to reserve) and had no problem at all. They are very reliable and we were pleased with the service.

At the airport, we saw a guy holding a sign with my name. He helped us with our luggages and we started walking towards the parking lot. I had rented a sedan but got a SUV instead. The driver was very nice! He told us about places to shop!
Christian Louboutin
Our first stop: Christian Louboutin store. There was a guy who really helped us out! He was very nice! He insisted that my sister try on these shoes with these very high heels. My sister tried walking in them but she couldn't. But then she found the pair that she's always wanted.
Few Other Stops...
We hopped back in the car and we asked him to bring us somewhere where we can shop. He brought us to a place with many stores. However, we just went to Macy's.
It was my first time going to there! It reminded me of the Bay but with more selection of brands and variety of items. We got some Dermablend products since we can't find them in Montreal. The sales associates were very nice and helpful!

Then, we asked him to take us to Starbucks before heading to our hotel. We went to this Starbucks and oh my God, the guy who served us was very friendly. I don't think I've ever seen a Starbucks employee in Montreal as happy as he was (maybe it's the beautiful weather in Miami).
Hilton Bentley Hotel
Our driver dropped us to our Hotel. We stayed at Hilton Bentley Hotel. The workers there were very nice and we truly enjoyed our stay there! The downside was it was far away from the malls and we had to cab it but it wasn’t too bad.
The first day, we were too tired to go out so we just ordered in from the hotel. We ordered macaroni and cheese and pizza. The food wasn't too good!

Beach
We went to the beach the next morning. It was hot and there was this nice breeze but it looked like it was about to rain. We wanted to go to the beach for a bit before going to the mall.
Aventura Mall
We went to Aventura Mall and I got my first Louis Vuitton bag: Speedy 30 Damier. I absolutely love it!!
We also had lunch at their food court. Then we noticed it was about to rain and took the cab back home.

A Fish Called Avalon
For dinner, we went to this restaurant called "A Fish Called Avalon," which was near our hotel. I got caesar salad and Grilled Canadian Wild Salmon with mashed potatoes on the side. My sister got Sesame-seared Ahi Tuna (see picture on the right).
There were anchovies on my caesar salad. Somehow, I just missed that from their menu. I just put in on the side. I don't like the taste of anchovies. As for my salmon, it was good! Nothing special! My sister didn't like Ahi Tuna at all! The restaurant was a little pricey and we weren't too fond of the food either. I wish I did some research on restaurants beforehand.

As for Miami, I loved it! The people there were so friendly and seemed like they are always having a good time! We only went for 2 days and it was raining most of the time, so couldn’t really go to the beach but we had fun shopping!
