Drive into the Four Points with "Definitely Miami" playing, if you get a chance. Also, only a girl as hot as Callie is worth getting beat up and shot at by Ted Nugent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't drink alcohol though, only a sip at most once a year. Does it actually help with nervous tension? I was told that drinking isn't great for people who suffer from anxiety disorders and can make it worse over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami is out of reach for me. The longest I have tried flying is around 2 hours and 15 min. I couldn't handle more than that either. Well maybe 3 hours without the turbulence though. I don't know how relatives around the world do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigarette Posted July 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Definitely Miami with Four Points Hotel was the episode first repated on July 4, the only time Vice aired on Independence Day.-and that was yesterday. The hotel have redone the outside. The pool is still the same, but the place where Crockett and Tubbs are sitting is gone, only the left side is still there.. But the two palmtrees seen at back are still there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
