This past Saturday we went on our first formal tour of the city of Miami. I’ve lived in the South Florida area for years and have visited Miami a few times, but now I finally feel like I really know the city. The tour was operated by the Miami Tour Company which features a unique “GPS guided audio tour”. To view my pictures and video from the experience, click on the link or thumbnail image below.

Sony CCD Recall Experience
I sent in my Sony DCR-HC20 Handycam Mini-DV digital camcorder to the Sony warranty repair center to fix the faulty CCD sensor. The camera was displaying a heavily distorted image on the LCD, viewfinder and recorded Mini-DV tapes. For more of the story, click on the link or thumbnail image below.

Robbie’s Marina – Islamorada, FL
On our way down to Key West for the weekend, we stopped at Robbie’s Marina to see the famous tarpon fish being fed from the pier. It was only $1 per person to watch and $2 for a bucket of bait fish. The excitement of seeing the massive tarpon fish jumping out of the water was well worth the price of admission. Click on the link or thumbnail image below for more.
