As far as tomorrow, part of the fun of the experience is we know we have two more sessions tomorrow and no idea what they will be.  Throw in a few meetings with brands and we have an outline for what I am sure will be a fun filled day.   Stay tuned for more daily coverage of the Miami Rum Festival.
