Day Trip Suggestion
by pulgaron
For an idea of a day trip from Miami, see my Flamingo page. Nice place to get away from it all for a day. In the heart of the Everglades National Park. An easy 38 miles from the park's entrance. The park is southwest of Florida City on State Road 9336. When you get to SW 344 Street at SW 197th Avenue, you must make a left to continue on 9336. At that very intersection you will find a fruit stand called Robert is Here. Do stop, to experience the best tropical, and exotic fruit shakes in South Florida. Try the Mamey shake, my favorite. The Guanabana is also excellent.
Packing List
by goingsolo
No matter the time of year, always prepare for rain, especially in the summer. Always prepare for heat, even in the winter. It can be in the 80s and humid in December. If you want to visit south beach at night, bring something dressy, but for most places, jeans are ok.
Jungle Cruise
by KaiM
North of Miami is Fort Lauderdale, home of the 'Jungle Queen.' This old boat is used for tourist cruises through the channels of the city. The boat passes by luxury homes and takes a stop at a gator farm where you can see gator wrestling.
Cheap!
by aero198 about Sawgrass Mills
This is a LARGE outlet mall, it's located outside Miami (you've got to drive about 45 minutes to get there), you'll find there brand stores, at very good prices. I specially liked GAP
:) Less than in brand stores in Miami
