miami florida sports travel = city and hotels guide + venues, events and tickets

Here is the Miami Florida Travel and Hotel Guide a city that I love to visit whenever I get a chance. While it no longer hosts its very popular downtown Grand Prix of Americas (street circuit track map below), Miami is an abosulte ball any time of the year and of particular excitement to visitors is the Miami Beach area. Enjoy this town of diversity and music and flavor.
Godspeed on all your travel adventures, Cvetko Ostroznik.

Wrap up Oh, Miami! Any time of year there's color, spectacle, great places to eat and play, but on race weekend it turns into a street party more fun, by a couple of laps, than I've ever seen at Monaco. Latin flavour, a great big city street concert, cars roaring around some of the most fashionable real estate in the U.S. Gimme a break. No, gimme a plane ticket. I'm there for the racing party to say goodbye to the Summer of 2003! Unfortunately the Grand Prix venue is no longer in use. As a temporary street circuit it was hardly rated as the best in the world by drivers, but for partiers - the town was a divine choice for a temporary grand prix city!
