A few weeks ago I flew to Miami, Florida with Kevin Cundiff. It was quite an interesting trip that week actually. We took the first skytrain out to the YVR airport Monday morning. It took the whole day to get to Miami actually, and but the time we got there, I couldn't believe that I was there.

The next day we went to eat at LeTub. Gawd their burgers are hugeeee. I can understand why Oprah recommended the place. Their stuff was extremely delious. Then we went to the beach for a couple of hours. Wow I've never seen a beach that was so windy with such big waves that pushed people over as the tide came in.

The last day there, I was hanging out on the balcony and watched the kids play down below, as there was a school on the bottom floor. One class were doing relays, and one of the things they were told to do were to do the wheelbarrel. One pair got all the way to the other side, most of them struggled, especially one pair of kids. The one holding their partner's legs wasn't strong enough to hold it, and the one walking with her hands kept wiggling everywhere making her partner have a harder time. Plus it looked like she didn't trust her partner enough to hold her up the whole way. So as all the kids finished, they were only half way to the end line before they could run back. However, I noticed how all the kids waiting for them to come back all went to help them out. It took them 6 kids to carry the poor girl on her hands all the way to the finish line. But I liked how it was like an analogy of life. How very few people finish faster, majority of people finish around the same time as long as they keep going, and those who are a tad slower but don't give up and also let people help them will finish as well.

Later I saw a group of kids playing basketball with the rubber balls and got one stuck in the hoop cause it was small enough to get through the ring but not small enough to get through the net. All the kids tried throwing other balls at the ball stuck inside to get it out the other way, but they kept failing. One girl even tried climbing the pole, she didn't get very far lol. After trying to go at it for about 15 mins, one kid took a smaller ball, looked up at the ball that was stuck from underneath, aimed and then threw the ball up with all hit got. Guess what happened? He got it out! Just like the last group of kids, don't give up and keep going, and you'll acheive what it is you want to get.

In the afternoon, Kevin and I went out to the gym so that he could get his ass kicked by an awesome trainer named Larry Ray. I must say, Larry fits into the small catagory of people I've met in my life that has a smile as bright as the sun and a heart that's so kind, it gives you that warm fuzzy feeling inside.

After that we went for a drive around town to see all the houses and buildings of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and South beach. I've never seen houses so big in my life. Plus there was one section where all the houses had a canel in their backyard so they could drive their boats in. This trip definitely built up my vision of what I can achieve in life.
