Also is it possible to arrive by public transport to the festival or should i rent a car
thanks!

Hi,
Can anyone suggest a moderately priced ($55-$80) hotel close to the airport. We just need a place for one night before catching an international flight the following day at noon. Thanks

I am going on a 5 day cruise and would like to park my car nearby. Any ideas where i can park near the ports and rates? Thanks!

Does anyone have advice about safe, yet (relatively) inexpensive parking near the Westin off Miracle Mile in Coral Gables? We got a great deal on the hotel via hotwire but the parking situation sounds awful. When I called the hotel, I was informed that the garages they use don't offer in-and-out privileges. Ouch!

Hi guys
a friend told me that one could buy a weekly pass to commute around Miami.
Would you know how much it costs/ where to purchase it
Also is tri-rail also covered?
Can I go to Palm beach from Miami using the weekly pass?
Thanks so much

I have a 7hr layover each way from around midnight to 7am. I don't want the expense of a room for 4-5hrs. Any safe suggestions for a female traveler at MIA during this timeframe? (for resting, reading, eating, etc) Thanks for your time and input!

Hi everyone!

We are planning on taking the Tri-Rail from Miami to Hollywood for a concert. Does the Tri-Rail only pick up from the Miami Airport (MIA)? Also, once in Hollywood, is it easy to catch a cab from the Tri-Rail station to the concert venue (and back)?

If this doesn't work, we might just rent a car & pay for parking(even though we want to drink at the concert).

Any other tips? Cheers!

Hello!

We're planning on going to Miami in march for our wedding anniversary. Hopefully, we'll be there for the carnival but can anyone give me names of places where if it's possible to go/dance and enjoy the music/atmosphere with a child. My question is more related to the separation that there sometimes has to be in the states between the drinking areas and the rest...

If not, do you know family places were we could go to enjoy a nice latin atmosphere and possibly dance? my husband is from venezuela and our son loves salsa :)

Thank you for your answers :)

Hi,
I am located in North Miami, and I would like to go to North Kendall at Baptist Hospital. Could you tell me any station of metro rail ;therefore, I can park my car to go over there.

Hi all, heading to Miami Beach in 3 weeks and would like some advice on nightlife there, how to dress, places to go, i'm straight but male best friend is not and was wondering if there is somewhere to go dancing that would suit both of us? also, how is the weather out there?

1. can you please point me to some web locations for day tours - looking for one that goes to key west but also interested in others. going on a cruise but will be spending a few days before & after touring Miami
2. considering the howard johnson dezerland on Collins - can anyone tell me what types of things are close to this hotel? any comments on the hotel? etc
3. hotel recommendations - no lower than a 2.5* and around the $100 night price range
3. is there anything like a hop on/off shuttle to tour Miami

Would you mention some of those Dangerous Areas in Miami, for visitors?. Thanks.

Hi there
We are going to do a Royal Caribbean Cruise in September next year and I was wondering if anyone knew the best area to cruise in the Caribbean is it East/West/South etc?

I will be returning back from an international flight to Miami and noticed I have a 5 hour layover. Will I have any time to see anything in Miami after coming out of customs? Also if it possible what is recommended in that short a time. I would like to get a general layout of the city.

Thanks for any help :)

Hi all,

This will be my first time traveling to Miami, fl. I am looking for idea's for a good hotel to stay at for me and my girlfiend for our first holiday trip together. One concern I have is the noise level. I love to party but I also love to sleep. I want to be close to the action so im thinking of staying on ocean dr or colony so I can walk to the beach or resturants.

Low cost around mid $500's-600s a person booking through expedia fight and hotel from Aug 29th-Sept 2nd.

I have seen these rates for Colony Hotel and Beacon. Both look great from what I can see and our rated decently. Any comments.


Thanks!!!!

We landed from Europe and arriving home thought it would be easy to enter our country since we have lived here our entire lives. Not so fast. Passport lines were the slowest we have ever experienced and it took over an hour to get through passport and by the time we got to our luggage our bags were pulled off the belt with many others and just left sitting on the floor. The it took another 15 minutes to exit.
What is going on. Please don,t tell us the obvious about tight US security. We are not visitors or strangers arriving.
Example we landed in Rome with 45 minutes to clear passport control and go thought security with our carry ons and still made the connecting flight.
Is this something new or is the system just broken in our great country?
It certainly ruins a long trip-We are all for security but not when dealing with citizens returning as all they have to do is verify it is us..
My daughter and 10 year old had a similar experience in Atlanta where they had a two hour connection time and called from the plane as they barely made it after passport control and re-checking bags-
Any thoughts as to why???

I never saw them before....

Brit family looking to visit Miami in Aug for a week with family (girls 17 and 11). Would appreciate some advice on the following.

Q1. Am I being uterly stupid about spending days at the beach. (heat wise)

Q2. Likely to ditch hire car as soon as we come into Miami from the Keys, as I'm thinking it would less hassle to taxi it around. Probably only need 1 day retail therapy and 1 day on a bus tour.

Many Thanks in advance
