Who here lives in Florida?

I'm heading to Miami Beach for a few days of fun in the sun with my wife. Anyone who is within driving distance (i'm going to have a rental 🙂 ) speak up 🙂

I'm going to be there from Sunday evening until Thursday (noonish).

It'd be cool to meet up with people if any of you actually live down there in "paradise" 😀

I live in North FLorida, but I believe that SpaceWalker lives in the Miami area. Might look him up.
 
Well from the looks of it - it's going to rain or storm on tuesday and wednesday so I'm sure those will be the 2 days we take some road trips🙂 Hopefully we(who have no skin tone😛) don't get too burnt up on Monday while on the beach 😀 We got a place right on the east side beach of Miami Beach and it has a private beach front😀

This will be my wife's first time in Florida (my 3rd or 4th i think) so is there anything I should take her to see? We'd like to get down to Key West but that would be quite a drive.

I live in Fort Pierce, a solid 2-2.5 hours north of Miami 🙂

edit: if you ever go to the keys, don't forget to check out the other less tourist-y keys like key largo with it's absolutely beautiful water. i haven't been there in 11 years (when i was 9ish), but I sure as hell would love to go back after my 21st birthday

actually, i want to spend my 22nd birthday (i was born on halloween) down at fantasy fest (which takes place halloween time) in key west
 
I live in Kissimmee in Osceola Country, Central Florida, south of Orlando.

I really don't have a car, but if it isn't so far, I'll see if I can get a ride to go.

Aceteon and eklass - I'll have a rental so I'll be the one taking the drive - especially since my wife want's to see as much "stuff" as she can. She has never been further south that the south side of DesMoines :Q and just wants to travel around. I'm not sure as to what day will work best to meet up - bt Tuesday looks like it might be a safe bet.

I'll keep you posted since I'll be bringing an old lappy from work and should have internet access.🙂(no I can't take 5 days away from the net😉😛 )

Edit - so checking the weather forcast (again) shows that now it'll storm on monday - not tues and wed so now monday looks to be a "travel day" 😛 It'll either be monday or Tuesday😉
 
I'm in the Tampa Bay area (west central). It's a good 3 hours away though. 🙁 Hope you enjoy the vacation and if you do find yourself in my area please PM me so we can meet up. 🙂
 
going to be at an AI conference mon - wed in st augustine. normally I am in north central florida: gainesville.
 
I'm in northwest Florida myself ( About as far from where you're going as you can get and still be in the same state)
 
I'm in Cocoa Beach so LMK if you stop off here 🙂 BTW, Miami can be very tourist unfriendly so if you get bumped in traffic do not pull over, head for a safe place to call the police because it's a favorite trick of the thugs there. Also, know exactly where you're going as a wrong turn in to the wrong neighborhood there can be bad!
