You are a beautiful city, you really are. Your oceans are magnificent. I will never forget how beautiful they are and I will probably come back along the Florida coast one day on vacation to take another look. Awe inspiring.

Your palm trees I have always loved. The fruits that grow on the trees, anywhere and everywhere, I've always found to be charming.

The Everglades are beautiful as long as we stop destroying it and let it thrive. The alligators are amazing creatures, the birds, the fish, the turtles...all the wildlife, fabulous.

The manatees...so cool. So unbelievably cool.

The weather in the winter...pretty darn nice. The thunder storms in the summer....so refreshing.

But, it's time for me to go. You're beautiful but you are an aggressive one and I'm just not that way. I'm more laid back, easy going, not in to the flashy scene, waving around how much money I have, driving expensive cars on loan, talking on a cell phone constantly...it's just not me.

And when you have your bad days, and you have them, I just can't take the drama. It's too much.

I might visit you in the future, Miami, but it's not a place for me to stay.

Good luck, Miami! I hope for a better and prosperous future for you.

I leave tomorrow. I'll miss some things about you, for sure.

It's sad that you're leaving, but you shouldn't stay here if you're not happy. I hope you enjoy wherever you're moving. I have a feeling you will want to be back in Miami come January, haha.

Sad to see you go.
I could've written your post. My feelings match yours word for word. We have elderly parents here so we stay.

We'll miss you! You'll have to come back to pay us a visit once in a while! When I can finally get all my ducks in a row, I'll be down to Miami to take your place! I wish I were there now. It's been super chilly here in San Diego - like 55 at night. Good Luck with your new enterprise Gatormama!
