Brazil ... Morocco ... London to Ibiza ...

OK, well, maybe just the second half ... this blog we are going to start with a little music motivation to set the tone.

Let's just say that as I embarked on my trip from London to Ibiza, I had faint fantasies of being J-Lo in this video where at the age of 43, she owns the club, looking amazing in a glitter body suit, shaking her boo-tay.  Well, my trip wasn't quite like this, but not far off.

For those who don't know, Ibiza is known world wide as the clubbing capital and home to Electro House music.  There are numerous enormous warehouse size clubs that pack in youngsters from around the globe throughout July and August.  World class DJs like David Guetta (whom we missed), Calvin Harris (saw Thursday), and Avicii (Sunday) rock weekly shows.  The night doesn't get started until after midnight, and anyone seen on the street before 10AM clearly hasn't gone to bed yet.

Me doing my best J-Lo

By day, people pack the beautiful beach clubs, sipping on expensive cocktails and washing it all down with even more expensive bottles of water.  The food is decadent ... lavish seafood paellas and large portions of lobster and sushi ... I'll say, you pay for the food, but the quality and portions are there to make it feel worth while.

Friday we chartered a private sailboat for our group of six ... though the motoring was a bit slow and rolly-polly, we did finally make it to our destination - the beautiful sister island of Formentera.  Certainly the highlight of the trip for me was the gorgeous outdoor restaurant tucked away off the beach, with flowing white curtains and mussels and shellfish to die for.  Yum!  This, my friends, is how to live.

Saturday we spent the day at Blue Marlin Beach Club and then made our way to the most well known club Pacha for another splendid dinner and dancing.  Scantily clad performers kept the eyes entertained in this stunning club.  What a great way to celebrate Angela's birthday!  And, the magnum of French Rose on the beach will never be forgotten.

Sunday, was a repeat ... relaxing on a sun bed like the rich and famous at Ushuaia, then packing in around the giant outdoor stage and pool to sweat it out to Avicii.  Definitely the best musical set for me ... this guy is only 23, coming from Sweden.  If you haven't heard him before, here is one of his most popular, and perhaps a video more exemplary of how our trip really went!
