MIA to STT - which side of the plane?

This is probably a dumb question, but we are flying from Chicago to Miami to STT and I was wondering which side of the plane is best to be on from Miami to STT on American Airlines. I mean, which would be the most scenic, since this is our first trip. Does anyone remember?
Thanks!

Oh, also, is there a way to get flight insurance through the airline? We are going in hurricane season and the flight was less directly through AA than Travelocity.
Thanks!

I second both of Pia's recommendations.

We will be on a Boeing 757 from MIA to STT and the only seats they have are either over the wing, or behind the wing. No one would know which would be better, would they??
Thanks!
(yes, I'm a bit OCD when it comes to details.)

On a 757 with only the options you mentioned; rows 25, 27 and 30 will still have a view out a window (behind the wing) and those seats have power ports. I would avoid rows 34 and 35 which are at the back. Too close to the restrooms.

Excellent, thank you!

Just to clarify. Row 27 will have a better view than 25. Row 25 is closer to the wing. And, if a power port isn't really needed then any row from 25 to 33 is good and not over the wing.

I can't help myself from saying that I am excited for you! I remember our first landing at STT (sitting on the left side) and being so happy.
