My first visit to Miami was well over a decade ago, and I've had no desire to return.

After spending ~30 hours in the city for mostly business and a teeny bit of pleasure, I must admit, it has chipped away at the ice on my heart. 

The sky? The coast? The breeze? The wildlife?! 

Not to mention, one of my oldest, dearest friends lives there at the moment, and I'd travel wherever to spend some quality time with her. Thankfully, I got to land somewhere as picturesque as this.
