I have flown into a lot of places and I must say that the approach to MIA is one of my favorites. The glittering skyscrapers on the azure Atlantic coast, the sea of orange-tile roofs, and the way everything just abruptly ends at the Everglades makes for a stunning contrast.

Indeed! There are also some of the reproducibly nicest clouds and sunsets I have had the extreme pleasure of seeing.

Puff on, DR

The baywalk runs randomly behind condos from 5th Street (Bently Beach) to 16th, in South Beach. Bring your camera. I hear some Canons actually have a sunset mode.

Driving from Downtown to South Beach, is the best view ever. It's so beautiful, with all the skyscrapers of Downtown and Brickell, and then the beautiful mansions on the water with the Port of Miami on the right with all the cruise ships. Then you get to South Beach and it's awesome. Driving through the older neighborhoods of Miami too, like Coral Gables and seeing all the huge trees covering the old homes, and all the parks and greenspaces. I love Miami!

just my 0.02
Dude, Arturo Fuentes Grand Reserve, super nice stick, so jealous!
