Christmas in Florida!


This trip to Miami and Sunny Isles is my last trip of the year -- and it is one for the books. I was given the assignment of interviewing a 33 year old, multi-millionaire developer, who is an associate of Donald Trump. I had a great time and the young man seemed unaffected by all the trappings of his success. I had my picture taken in front of one of his private jets. He was a gentle, kindly person, whom I hope to meet again.

I was enchanted by many little things on this trip - the weather being one. I am from California, so a warm winter was not unusual for me, but the weather in Miami was so perfect, warm and cloudless, that it seemed, when looking at other parts of the TV weather map, that I was in paradise.

Rain in the west, snow in the midwest and east, and then, in Florida, it's cloudless and perfect. Like in Arizona, this is the reward Floridians get for putting up with hot, miserable Summers. But I had never been in Florida in December, and especially THIS December when so much weather misery afflicted the rest of the country.

One of the images above is a simple one -- on the 28th floor of my hotel suite, looking down at the ocean below. AHHH! Comfort and Joy! A Florida Christmas!
