<<South beach is okay but miami is just really dirty and I happen to hate it. Yik. Then again I hate this whole freakin state. I'm embaressed to say I live here.>>
Probably the only statement by MRCIDE that I will ever agree with.
In Miami, check out Bayside. Right on the Ocean, easy to get to, younger crowd, lots of neat shops & restaurants and you can take a cheap sightseeing cruise of 1 1/2 -2 hours for ~$15. Also a Gambling cruise if you are interested and old enough.
