<<< Southwest Airlines is like the Catholic schools of airlines. They run things a little
differently, but in the end they are pretty efficient. So, on Somebodyisfromhere.com's flight a
stewardess was singing about the descent or, you know, god knows what, and his ear felt as if
it was legitimately going to fall off from the pressure. It was one of those sensations in which
Somebodyisfromhere.com not only questioned whether he wanted to be a conversational
travel writer any longer, but also if ever want to leave his town, his house, his bedroom, or his
bed ever again. Then he looked out his window on the left side of the plane looking at
downtown Tampa and saw the fireworks. As if sacrificing one sense for another, vision for
hearing, he remembered why he traveled and was confident that this would be a good trip
indeed.

Florida has always perpetuated itself on the appearance of providing an alternate universe. Look at Disney; it's based on the premise in which there's a
world of constant happiness and super sized rodents wearing gloves.
Well the same can be said about the Gulf Shores...

<<< Somebodyisfromhere.com had a streak in South Beach this weekend of hitting three
straight ATMs that had run out of money. Is this a coincidence or accurate representation of how
bloody expensive the place is? Who knows, but Somebodyisfromhere.com's savings account
doesn't look so hot.
Summing up a place like Miami's South Beach in Florida is a lot more difficult than one would
think.
Sure, some think of the topless girls on the beach. Yeah, that happens, but is there more to the
city?

| With new content weekly, Somebodyisfromhere.com takes a look at travel albeit from the perspective of somebody who probably watched a little too much TV as a kid (or yesterday). The site doubles as a venue in which you can share stories or pictures from your vacations because, let's face it, your friends are sick of hearing about it. |

Without further adieu Somebodyisfromhere.com presents a story he wrote on a series of Post-Its. Errors and repetitive themes have
not been corrected. This was, after all, Somebodyisfromhere.com's introduction to the weather patterns of Florida and before he had a
handle on the value in the variation of descriptive words and any knowledge of the concept of hyperbole.
