Now it's South Beach?! You guys would LOVE it, everything is in one place, the beach, the bars, restaurants, etc, and you can walk everywhere. I work just 20 mins away so if you want me to check out a hotel or 2 let me know.
Miami is great. I've been there a few times but I always stayed with my friends so I actually have only been to one hotel there (Avalon, $109 a night I think, was decent hotel). If you are staying on ocean drive, there are more places in walking distance to go to than you can fit in one weekend. Here are some pictures from my previous trip. Some fitties for Claire.
I think we should do it. I see more hotels, thus more competition and better pricing, with more to do. Send me some deals if you find them. We shall put them up for selection later this week.
Try Ft Lauderdale(FLL) too. It's like half an hour away from South Beach and usually has better deals than MIA.
