Airing on the CBS network, one of the most popular series in the U.S., CSI Miami stands for Crime Scene Investigation Miami. The show depicts a team of forensic scientists in action solving murders after murders using to do so the most advanced available technology. This TV show has become very popular throughout the years, and one of the reasons is, of course, David Caruso’s performance as Horacio Cane. David Caruso’s performance has been mocked all over the world. Even Jim Carrey did his interpretation at Dave Letterman’s Late Show. Apart from all, I have to tell show I love the show, even when sometimes it is completely irrelevant to Miami, Florida.

If you have seen the show, you already know its features views of Miami Beach’s most upscale buildings. Besides, all crimes take place at the hottest Miami night clubs, Miami hotels such as the Delano Hotel Pool, and tropical Miami luxury homes. All this is just one part of Miami, and perhaps the most important since is the one keeping Miami tourism alive. Actually, there is nothing better that having money and been in Miami because this way people can truly experience or even visiting Miami the “CSI Miami’s style.” With enough resources you will be able to charter a Miami boat to enjoy our fantastic waters when on vacations in Miami. Additionally, you will be able to enjoy fine dining and definitely the best of Miami nightlife at the most high-end South Beach nightclubs and Miami hotels. If you are a visitor, renting a luxury car in Miami is pretty easy… you can even rent a Hummer H2, Horacio Cane’s vehicle on CSI Miami.

Afterwards, this over the top Miami’s lifestyle is just a little part of the City of Miami. In fact, there a less popular TV show that features the city of Miami as a star in a more real way. Dexter, Based on Jeff Lindsay’s novels Darkly Dreaming Dexter and Dearly Devoted Dexter, is a TV show about a forensic blood spatter expert for the Miami Dade Police Department that hunts down people who have escaped justice and makes sure they don’t get away with a crime again. Dexter is a serial killer of serial killers. Making the point Dexter, which also airs on CBS, show a more low-key human side of Miami. With views of Latin suburbs and Cuban café places, Dexter shows Miami as Miami’s residents truly know it.

May / June / July / August / September / October /

Summer is already here, and the City of Miami has a lot to offer to locals and tourists. Take a look of upcoming Miami events and enjoy your summer vacations in Miami, Florida.

This is just an overview of music-related upcoming Miami Events this summer.

Before closing this post, you must know that the ideal summer vacations in Miami area going to depend on two main things, the accommodations that you choose and the budget you have for your vacations in Miami and South Beach. Miami vacation rentals are ideal for those traveling in a budget. You can find a wide variety of vacation rentals around Miami that will give you a great advantage over a hotel. Usually, Miami vacation rentals provide better deals per night and certainly more privacy. There are a few companies in Miami Beach that can offer you a good vacation condo or home, yet you must be careful in order to fully enjoy your experience. Miami vacation rentals are easy to find online; however, I wanted to let you know about two Miami vacation rentals agencies that will not let you down. MiamiHabitat.com, located in the heart of South Beach, offers weekly specials vacation condos and luxury homes in South Beach and North Miami, while MiamiLodge.com has great deals on Art Deco style buildings in South Beach close to all the action and torrid Miami nightlife.

Miami give birth to a new marketing Miami tourism campaign targeting more sophisticated travelers. The City of Miami is looking forward to attract more wealthy people with this campaign.

The slogan Miami: Express yourself, whereas the print campaign displays the work of prominent local artists. In addition, to attract affluent tourists this campaign is a reflection on the art movement that has taken over Miami for the past years. The City of Miami wants to let the entire world know that now we are serving as an emerging cultural center. For instance, Miami has become the home of world-known art festivals such as Art Basel Miami. Besides, Miami is home of several new cultural centers like Miami Carnival Center of the Performing Arts which each year brings new events to the city. As is this were not enough, the Miami Design District and Miami Wynwood Art District are emerging as two hot art spots whit numerous art galleries, sidewalk restaurants, and clubs. Nowadays, visitors and locals can enjoy a wonderful evening at Miami Art Districts by walking around galleries and enjoying a meal in one of the most exclusive and well-though restaurants in town such as Michael’s Genuine Food and Drink, already serving an A-list of clients, or perhaps having a drink in a Miami night club without the craziness of South Beach party scene. For once, Circa 28 allows young-elite to party with artists and intellectual people, instead of Spring Breakers, party animals, or even celebrity’s groupies.

The bottom line of this campaign is that Miami needs this kind of visitors to maintain its economy. Broward County is already making efforts to promote Fort Lauderdale as Florida’s premier vacation destination. Nevertheless, Miami also needs this projection in order to keep alive the various luxury hotels in Miami Beach, premier Miami restaurants and travel services. We must remember Miami is a vacation destination and, for worst or best, we all need this tourism industry. However, we cannot forget the regular tourist who has give Miami so much. The perfect Miami for me is one that can provide a high-end vacation to affluent tourists, who might even decide to invest in our city, but at the same time can properly serve the regular tourist traveling on a budget, who surely do not want to pay more than he should or get scam at a Miami night club.

• Reduce calories intake by reducing portions of food.
• Reduce the kind of food to select nutrients with low glycemic index, which are digested slowly and therefore have a greater burning power than high glycemic such as white bread for example. Dieters should select good carbohydrates and avoid bad ones.
• Avoid bad fats.
• Practice daily exercise.
