Iphones, Sushi & South Beach Group in Miami

washington_ave_south_beachGreetings,

I’m writing this from London as Miami was a quick but productive blur. I arrived Friday evening and flew out Saturday evening at about the same time. It was a quick stop over and really hit the spot. South Beach is a solid time and I’m always thrilled to arrive but for some reason, never mind leaving if that makes sense? I remember some lyrics in a Jay-Z song about “All black everything” and I thought of that walking around South Beach only, “All Fake Everything” and I mean everything…

Suffice to say if you’re hitting up South Beach, I suggest you look into the South Beach Group of hotels and hostels. They give you a free transfer to and from the hotel and hav e a happy hour which will get you going. I have never worked with them but I did scour the internet before I hit up Miami for the first time and they were the clear winner so I’ve never wavered and really happy with the arrangement. Afterwards I hit up some sushi; tones of great joints in South Beach before hitting the bed at 10pm; crazy I know.

The next day it was down to business and I met up with my friend Jeremy from The World or Bust. He’s a good sport as going shopping with me is not a fun thing to do. You know someone who is indecisive when it comes to shopping? Multiply that a few times and you’re starting to get the idea. Long story short, ever since my computer crashed in the Caribbean I’ve been having serius issues with my iphone.

It wouldn’t connect to my PC so I figured it was time to get a new one. I did all the online searches and it all lead to me thinking it simply didn’t work. Little did I know that it was because I can’t read Spanish and the phone was still good; big thanks to the ladies at Best Buy. That said, isn’t life about betterment in every sense of the word? I talked to the Samsung rep and sure enough he is an iPhone fan like myself. I picked up the iPhone 5S and wow; it’s incredible. I can’t believe it took me this long considering I’ve been using the same old crusty iPhone 4 since 2010…

Afterwards we hit up Hiro Sushi Express which is like 1 block from Moshi Moshi which I thought was good until I found this place. The sushi is comparable but Hiro is half the price and fast; it also has a huge menu. We ordered lots including a sashimi platter and it came to ~$30; can’t go wrong.

No idea when I’m back in Miami but I’m always down for a night or two…

Lots of people go there to party; if you want to escape the cold and let loose for a bit; recommended.

Tips hat,
