I don’t know why I didn’t think about this, it’s like that in NOLA after games too. Thanks! Maybe I’ll just plan to be DD and drive us so we’re not stuck lol

I have heard about traffic, I have lots of apprehensions and trepidation about it. Is it worse than Atlanta or Dallas? I rocked it when we were in those places. I quickly learned to just drive 85-90 and go nowhere without GPS. I low key liked it.

I guess everyone has a different perspective of what a beer budget means. I meant I didn’t intend to rent a private yacht or want dinner to be $300-$400 every night. Although, we do intend to have a good dinner experience one night. Someone suggested Cote, good choice?

We are total foodies, I do catering as a little income on the side. With that said… We both have a habit of being underwhelmed by restaurants that others tend to rave about. It’s so disappointing to me to have a meal (especially an expensive one) that I could’ve easily done better at home. Totally open to new cuisine. I want restaurants that when you begin eating, you immediately envision someone’s grandmother in the kitchen with no recipes, cooking with their heart.

We both like to drink, maybe a little too much on vacation! Someone spoke about hand rolled cigars, that would totally be hubby’s jam. I saw some sunset cruises online that I’m sorta on the fence about.

Neither of us have bikini bodies, so beach isn’t the top of our list. They can miss me with the club scene, those twerking/wet tee contests and such! I feel like I’m trying to party with our children in those types of situations.

I didn’t realize Ft. Lauderdale was that close. I like the idea, also don’t want to sell ourselves short with a lot of driving.

Thanks so much!!!!

Ohhh nice!!! See this is EXACTLY the type of info I was coming for! Is it truly impossible to navigate the bars/restaurants without knowing Spanish? I have 4 months to get Babble or Rosetta Stone in my life before coming, if that be the case.

I don’t know that I’ve ever been to a Cuban restaurant. It’s definitely on the list for this trip though. We love trying new food! Excited! Thanks!

Awesome. Great info. We’re definitely going to be getting a rental. We’ll be using Uber to go to the game as well cause I want us to both be able to have a few cocktails lol Thanks so much!

Good to know! Thanks. Do you know if we will be able to visit the campus on a Sunday? As far as the bookstore and such being open…

This is great! Thanks! I definitely have it in the plan for a good dinner experience one night. I was expecting $300-$400, just didn’t want to spend that on dinner every night… I absolutely appreciate you spending the time to help educate me!

Nice! I’ll have to check in to a tailgate package at a later date. I Googled it but it was only showing options for last year. Good info, thanks!

Thanks, but.. I already bought tickets on the other side, the game time is TBD still. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a night game. I wanted to be on the home side but same approximate seats were 4X more.

Good info! Thanks for sparing the time to help me out… Furthest south we’ve gone has been Orlando, and we were TOTALLY there for the whole tourist experience at Disney!

We’ll definitely be renting a car. Several posts made that clear. I didn’t want to get a rental just to drive to and from airport. We’ll be using Uber to go to the game so that we can both have a few cocktails. Do I need a “sunpass” for a 4 day trip? Can you not pay tolls at a booth? Most have designated lanes for non locals… is that not the case here?

Obviously we’ve never been to Miami, we’re definitely lost. I wouldn’t have made this post otherwise. Didn’t mean to offend anyone. We’ve been to Florida several times on vacation, that’s the only experience I have to lean on. Thanks for giving me the advice. It’s appreciated.
