description: ﻿WELCOME TO MIAMI ﻿Planes, buses, the interstates packed, boats, rafts washing up, all kinds of ways to get to this run-off of the continent, everyone looking for freedom or escape from something weaseling in their heads... Miami has been called Americas tropical playground, Gateway to the Americas, and heralded as a glimpse into how the nations metropolitan areas will be in the future. Its a unique city promising a dynamic blend of cultures. It is also the preferred destination of exiles and refugees seeking the American Dream. WELCOME TO MIAMI is a story narrated by Max, a native Floridian born in the Everglades telling of his time with one headline grabbing Cuban infiltrator, Emilio Garcia Abierto, an exile who first arrived with 125,000 other refugees during the Mariel exodus. Although WELCOME TO MIAMI could not get the Miami Tourist Boards endorsement, it is an entertaining and insightful tale of Cubans, Miami, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the sun.
