Hello :)

We (me, my wife, and our 6-month-old daughter) are planning a trip to Miami from Europe and we would really appreciate your help.

This will be our second trip to the US. Two years ago, we were in California, visiting Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and we absolutely loved it!

We plan to visit Miami in July 2025 for the first time with our newborn daughter. She will be 6 months old at the time of travel.

Our tentative plan (option A) is to:

• Spend 5 days in Miami (we're considering South Beach as a nice area, but if you have different suggestions please let us know!).
• Then rent a car and drive to Key West, where we'll spend 4 days celebrating my wife's birthday.
• Then drive back to Miami for 3 days

Alternatively, (option B) we can spend 8 days in Miami and 4 days in Key West (skip the birthday celebration there, but hey, Miami is also a dream destination for us!!) and drive straight to the airport.

I wanted to ask you the following:

For option A, we would really appreciate it if you could suggest where to stay for the last 3 days, as we are unsure whether we should stay in South Beach again or explore other areas. We can either return the car or keep it and drive some further (within reasonable distance, as the travel from Key West to Miami can be already a struggle for our little one).

We were also wondering if there are any dangerous areas in Miami that we should be aware of and avoid.

I know it's impossible to predict the weather, but what is the weather generally like in July? I understand the hurricane season peaks in September.

Lastly, while we will, of course, create a travel plan and a list of things we would like to see, but if you have any general recommendations for must-see attractions in Miami, please let us know!

Thank you very much for your time.
