Narrative:
Location: 20 NM north of mly. Cruising at FL330 en route from mia to bog, we received a warning of low hydraulic fluid level in blue system. Confirming it with ECAM, overhead gauge, and the loss of pressure we completed the actions with the volume 1 follow-up. I decided the best course of action was to land overweight at kin. We advised kin control of our situation, and intentions. I did not deem it necessary to declare an emergency at this time and proceeded in for a landing. The flight attendants were advised of the situation, and finished up in the cabin stowing all the equipment for landing. The approach and landing were normal at 314000 pounds land weight (maximum 308600 pounds) approximately 100 FPM rate of descent at touchdown.
