MY-ami

I'm here! Back in my home of South Florida for the Super Bowl. Flew down this morning. I always forget how on any flight into Miami International Airport they always announce everything in BOTH English and Spanish. Maybe by the end of the week I'll be able to blog in both English and Spanish. Today was a perfect sunny day. Its so pretty outside. Plus its nice to know that I don't have to use my winter coat for the next week! Got all settled in to my 'home' for the week. I'm staying at one of the many NFL Media Hotels and already the media are storming South Beach. When I pulled up to the hotel, the guy in front of me got out of his car wearing a Bears sweater and carrying camera gear. Then at check in I saw another camera guy and his reporter come in. "We" as in the media are resorting back to the days of elementary school for transportation. Everyone is hoping on the bus and being shuttled from place to place throughout the week I'm sure new friends will be made considering we're all going to be at the same spots.

This whole week is looking to be pretty packed with all kinds of parties and events to celebrate the big game. We get our 'golden ticket' aka credentials on Monday. I think that night our plan is to head over to the Hard Rock and attend the kickoff party. And then on Tuesday its an early morning as it is Media Day.

I know the Bears Team arrives tomorrow around 4. They are doing a little photo shoot at the airport and then going to their hotel.

The streets on South Beach are lined with Super Bowl banners and signs. Ha, I'm watching the local news and they just ran a story on the Super Bowl Trophy. There was a presentation today upon its arrival and then it was taken to the stadium in a guarded car. Wow. Talk about taking things seriously. The next news story was on the NFL Experience at the stadium. Its definitely a little kids dream where you can run around all day and play football, take pictures and hang out.

Alright... I'll be back tomorrow with more from Miami! Have a good night...
