Super Bowl 2010 - Sporting Events in Miami

2009-07-28T15:22:00.002-04:00

The Super Bowl 2010, the biggest spectacle in American sports, will come to Miami in 2010. The AFC Champs take on the NFC Champs to battle for an NFL Championship at the Super Bowl 2010 at Land Shark Stadium. Only a handful of sporting events can truly be described as an unforgettable travel experience, and the Super Bowl Miami is certainly one of them.

The first Super Bowl (which wasn’t called the Super Bowl at the time) was not a sell out. Super Bowl tickets for that game, in which the Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 35-10, cost just $12. You can bet they are more expensive now and much more difficult to find.

Over the years the Super Bowl has more than lived up to the hype. Don’t miss your chance to witness history at the Super Bowl 2010.

The 2009 Miami Beach Boat Show

2009-02-18T12:10:00.002-05:00

At 10am, opening time of the 2009 Miami Beach Boat Show on Sunday, traffic was already backed up and finding parking was a challenge. Inside the 2009 Miami Beach Boat Show (photos) all major boat manufacturers were in attendance, albeit in slightly smaller stands than last year. The Miami city guide describes the usual show as incredible and popular, but the changes in the show this year were not necessarily for the worst.

Sales people were friendlier and proposed better discounts. Buyers definitely had the upper hand. The smaller boat stands attracted the largest amount of people while the larger boat stands seemed to attract more spectators than actual interested buyers. According to the Miami city guide, people from all over the world wait to make their boat-related purchases during this special weekend. The "Concept" boat manufacturer stand exhibited an impressive 44-foot sports boat.

The service was extra impressive as all the friendly salespeople were more eager and attentive to customers. The outrageous 37-foot Boston Whaler prototype was the most impressive part of the 2009 Miami Beach Boat Show. The legendary Boston Whaler brand truly created a breathtaking vessel. Reserve Miami holiday rentals and Florida holiday rentals today for next year’s Boat Show before things fill up.

The 2009 Coconut Grove Arts Festival

2009-02-18T12:01:00.003-05:00

According to the Miami city guide, the Coconut Grove Arts Festival is a major annual event in South Florida. Despite the difficult times, the 2009 Coconut Grove Arts Festival (photos) was a huge success with huge crowds, heavy traffic and little available parking spots. Next year, we will make sure arrive early to avoid afternoon congestion. Due to the current state of the economy, 2009 Coconut Grove Arts Festival were required to pay a $7 admission fee.

Apparently, the new fee did not discourage anyone from attending. As mentioned in the Miami city guide, the event’s fine art booths displayed paintings, sculptures, photography and jewels. Coconut Grove chefs gave culinary demonstrations for the 2009 Coconut Grove Arts Festival visitors.

Food pavilions offered foods from all over the world. Local groups provided musical entertainment for the crowd. Overall, attendees seemed to have a great time during the beautiful weekend of the 2009 Coconut Grove Arts Festival. Miami even felt an increase in occupancy of Miami vacation rentals and Florida vacation rentals.

Miami International Boat Show, Events in Miami

2009-02-11T14:47:00.003-05:00

The Miami International Boat Show and other like events in Miami usually attract boaters from all over the US and all over the world. This year might be a different story for such events in Miami. Locals will probably attend the Miami International Boat Show but there will probably very few buyers.

Boating is a lifestyle for the whole family. Boat manufacturers and related events in Miami have been more impacted than car manufacturers because cars are a necessity while boats are an expensive pastime. MarineMax manufacturers’ 2008 revenues decreased by 50%.

The leitmotiv for this year will be discounts and discounts. Small boats are ideal to avoid the current awful economic suffering at a relatively low cost. People can always rent a boat in Miami during Florida travel for a few days out of the year rather than buying. Boat buyers can buy affordable vessels for less than $20,000 with a low cost-per-gallon and more efficient engines. In August 2008, statistics indicated that sales were down 25% as compared to August 2007. It is a buyer’s market. Those who have cash will get the better deals. Attendees of the 2009 Miami International Boat Show and other large events in Miami can get fantastic lodging discounts for South Beach vacation rentals.

The Fort Lauderdale International Auto Show is smaller that the Miami Beach annual edition. Nonetheless, it still has a lot to offer. The stars of this year event were smart cars and hybrids. As a consequence, this event seems to be the ideal place for South Floridians seeking relief at the gas pump may find a solution in the bevy of fuel efficient. Generally, smart cars get 41 miles per gallon on the highway and 33 in the city and carry base prices from $11,590 to $16,590. One car that make a wave at the event was the new General Motor's 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid.

Other big part of the event in South Florida was, of course, the luxury car and prestige car exhibition. Since automakers haven't been immune to the economic downturn and new and luxury car sales have dropped in recent months, organizers were hoping the event stimulated car sales for local dealers and raised money for Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward County, owner of the event.

If you are planning to come to Miami Florida, you can have access to the most luxurious cars in the world by renting one from a luxury rental car of Miami. This way you can see and ride the car of your dream without waiting the next edition of South Florida auto shows.

Miami ING Marathon 2008 - Events and Happenings in Miami

2008-01-31T22:27:00.000-05:00

I had a great time and I will definitely do it again! Well to tell you the true I didn't participate in the official Miami ING Marathon. Instead, I did the shorter one the day before the Tropical 5K with the slogan Run Miami - Run For The Homeless. It was a nice experience, even when it took me twice the time the first position did. At the end, I was not participating to win I was just doing something good for myself and others. I will totally recommend this event in Miami to anyone who wants to try next year. Please beware you have to get up really early that can be a problem for nocturnal spirits like me.
