When your trip doesn’t work out quite as you’d hoped, you have a simple choice; focus on the inconvenience or embrace the opportunity. This often presents unusual opportunities. So when I found myself in a Miami airport hotel I decided to check out my balcony around sunset. I’m glad I did.

In spite of years of travel, there is still a bit of the wide-eyed little boy when I watch planes take off and land. Throw in a beautiful sunset, and I really can’t ask for more.

I would never take a trip just to watch planes land into the setting sun, but to be honest, it would almost be worth it.
