Oh Miami...

My return to Miami after almost ten years away was awesome to describe it lightly. I don't know what it is about me and Miami, but I have no problem finding the best times that can be had. I met my business partner at the airport and we rolled to the famed Lowes Hotel on South Beach. After a minute at check-in, Curt worked his magic and we were on our way to the top floor and into one of the four Premium Suites! I opened the double doors to a view of excess and awesomeness. This room was bigger than my condo with a million dollar view from the giant balcony! The VIP treatment was in full effect as always, and the trip had only just begun. I immediately put my trunks on and dove in the ocean. I am very connected to Mother Earth. She helps me to process sometimes. Just like in the High Line park in NYC, I completely let go. She let me float weightlessly. After a hour of meditation (aka suntanning) on the beach we cleaned ourselves up and went down for the first of many to come networking sessions at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C domain conference. The next day was filled with new learning about a new and potentially very profitable industry, the domain real estate game. That night we were invited to the .CO sponsored party at the Versace Mansion. Stepping over the murder scene where Gianni gave his life, I entered into the epitome of excess. I enjoyed sipping on Johnny Black while mingling with some of the most powerful people in the biz, and a few models along the way. When the party died down, we jumped into a new friend's luxury ride and headed to Club Mokai to dance the night away. It was a rocking evening that made me feel like I was home again. Tuesday morning, I awoke and again made a beeline for the ocean and some time on the sand. The ocean and the beach are the best hangover cure money can't buy. After my recovery, I headed in to see Don King deliver the keynote speech. That guy has skills. The rest of the day was again spent learning and networking. The last gathering was for the live domain auction and grand prize raffle, which I won! I am the proud new owner of an 32gb 3G enabled iPad!!! Thanks to domainadvertsing.com for the awesome prize. It's a win I will never forget. All in all, Miami never ceases to amaze me. The beautiful beaches, the best clubs, the most beautiful women, and great connections in both business and life, all combine to make it very hard to leave. Miami will always hold a special place in my heart. Someday, I will buy a home here so I can finally chase the sun forever. Click HERE to see the full image gallery.
