GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English term or phrase: soak it up
Es un artículo que da información sobre la vida nocturna en South Beach, Miami, bares y discotecas para visitar.

"Home to fashion models, vintage cars, Harleys, and Hummers, you'd think you were on the set of CSI. Well you are ... so enjoy and *** soak it all up***."

"It's all a personal thing, but three that make me want to stay and drink and ***soak it up*** are Ted's Hideaway, Mac's and Room Inc."

Aparentemente "soak it up" significa remojar, poner en remojo, pero en este contexto ¿podría significar sumergirse? ¿Como sumergirse a disfrutar?

Muchas gracias por su ayuda.
