The Miami River is a relatively short stream in upstate New York and is a part of the Hudson River watershed. The river's headwaters rise in the Adirondack Mountains at 43°36'11"N, 74°30'12"W about ten miles northwest of Speculator and flows southeast for about three miles with Pillsbury Mountain on the south and Page Mountain to the north. It turns sharply southwest for about one mile and then turns sharply east for about a mile, after which it flows mostly northeast for about five miles before flowing into Lewey Lake at 43°37'58"N, 74°24'17"W. Lewey Lake empties into Indian Lake, which is drained by the Indian River, which then flows into the Hudson River about 17 miles to the northeast.
Miami was one of the few places on earth where someone could offer you a get-rich-quick deal on 10 acres of swampland, and there was a good chance that you could actually get rich on it.
Miami, whose tropical temperatures were now tamed by indoor climate control, thus tolerable to an influx of workers, became the gateway to the Caribbean for any number of businesses, which soon rivaled tourism as the keystone industry.
Whether Miami is your port of embarkation, debarkation or a port of call mid-cruise, it is unlikely that you will encounter a city anywhere on your travels that appeals to as many tastes: foodie, shopaholic, eco-tourist, golfer, water sportsperson or lover of traditional tourist attractions.
