Miami International Boat Show, Events in Miami

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.

After months of anticipation and delay, the new China Grill restaurant was opened this past Friday in Fort Lauderdale.

This new restaurant in Fort Lauderdale is a 493-seat space that includes 12 seat communal table and private room, with an outdoor terrace. China Grill Fort Lauderdale joins sites in South Beach, New York City, Las Vegas and Mexico City. Jeffrey Beers said this China Grill was the most theatrical yet. This restaurant might be an excellent opportunity for boaters who want to enjoy a delicious food after a long day on the open sea. Since every day more and more locals are renting boats or chartering yachts during their vacations to Miami and Fort Lauderdale, and due to the great ambiance the city of Fort Lauderdale has to offer the opening of this restaurant seems just in time.

Miami ING Marathon 2008 - Events and Happenings in Miami

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.
