Miami I'll be in Miami this weekend - man am I excited! This'll be my second time to the lovely city; the first was in April of 2003. Like the first time, I don't have a real reason to go, I'm just going. But then again, I didn't really think you needed a reason to go to Miami :)The first time around, it was sort of a random trip with a lady friend. I was in Florida at the time and so was she, so we decided to meet up and head to Miami. This time, I'm meeting up with that same lady friend (who, as you can imagine, by this time a little more than a "lady friend") for a part two of sorts. As a kid I was a HUGE fan of Miami Vice. I remember watching it every Friday night with my parents (along with Dallas and Dynasty… err, wait, were those on Friday night as well?). I didn't really understand what was going on too well, but the action packed intro was good enough for me. And Crockett's Ferrari was always fun to see. It was that intro scene in fact that defined my vision of Miami for years to come. When I finally got a chance to see the place 20 years later it was like a dream come true, and it dictated many of the things I'd had to do. For instance, consistent with the opening sequence, I just had to see jai-alai; I mean, to me, jai-alai was Miami! (And still is!) I had check out some greyhound racing. What would a trip to Miami be without betting on the little doggy's? And seeing palm trees and flamingos was important; however, I'd been deflowered a year earlier when I'd seen them for the first time on a trip to Sydney. I'm kind of glad I'd gotten my vision of Miami from Miami Vice. Otherwise I'd have probably only thought the place was good for beautiful women in bikini's. Don't get me wrong, the place is good for that, but the Miami Vice side was far more important to me. At any rate, I digress. The point of this post is about me going to Miami this time. I plan on doing all the same things I did the first time; if I have half as much fun it'll be a great trip! And if I hit that superfecta… oh man - the RomeReport may just be coming to you from Miami permanently! :)
