You are allowed to want this.

A table in the sand. A plate you ordered without flinching. An afternoon that belongs to nobody else. People will judge you. Let them. You can do anything you want with the time you have. Start before you feel ready.

20 years on the same stretch of Sunny Isles sand. Acqualina Resort & Residences staged its anniversary like a full oceanfront production. Splash Drum Show on the pool deck. Jules Trump and Deborah Yager Fleming on the mic. , , and all running at once. Louis Roederer and caviar in the Rolls-Royce Miami Lounge. A Champagne aerialist from a rose hoop. Miami does not hand out 20-year runs.
