Travel Around the US & The World

Joanne Durann Miami, Florida

.

The Lights, the sounds, and the nightlife, along with the gateway to the world make Miami a very enjoy pace to visit. This is truly a city on the go, the vibe of Miami is up incoming, been there done that, and a rich historical past. There is something for everyone here! The night life is here, and now with great culture and live events of all kinds running all the time somewhere within the city.

The shopping is top notch with every designer you can think of and local merchants, along with some of the best food in the region, in my opinion, and great just plain olod window shopping and at night the streets light up with food experiences and plenty to do.

Miami iis also a gateway with the international airport you can get practically anywhere in the world, just hop on board. Not looking to fly? Try grabbing one of the multitude of cruise ships coming in and out of the cruise port.

The Eagles are an American rock band that formed in Los Angeles in 1971. They are known for their distinctive vocal harmonies, country-tinged rock sound, and their many hit songs, including "Hotel California," "Desperado," "Take It Easy," "Lyin' Eyes," "Life in the Fast Lane," and many others.

The Eagles' music draws on a variety of influences, including rock, country, and folk, and their sound has been described as "California rock." Their lyrics often explore themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in life. Some of the most popular albums by The Eagles include:

• Eagles (1972)

• On the Border (1974)

• One of These Nights (1975)

• Hotel California (1976)

• The Long Run (1979)

The band has gone through various lineup changes over the years, but their music remains popular and influential today. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

March Madness

The Road to the Final Four

College basketball is fast coming into March Madness. The brackets are setting up and there is a lot on the line. Who will win, who will lose?

March Madness is a nickname for the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, which takes place every year in March and April. The tournament features 68 college teams competing in a single-elimination format to determine the national champion.

The selection process for the tournament involves teams being chosen based on their performance throughout the season, with a selection committee deciding the seeding and matchups for each round. The tournament is divided into four regions, with teams seeded based on their overall performance. The Final Four is the last stage of the tournament, featuring the four remaining teams after the previous rounds of play. The Final Four takes place in a single weekend, with two semifinal games and a championship game determining the overall winner.

It's always exciting to see which teams make it to the Final Four and who ultimately becomes the national champion, and I'm sure the 2023 tournament will be no exception.
