There is a nice museum right by the main pier that discusses the import/export via sea, pirates, and so forth. http://www.keywestshipwreck.com/
Thanks for the suggestions CFAvsMBA, any more tips for Miami? I am 2 days in MIA and 2 days in KW.
And yes, there is not a shadow of a doubt that MBA (Top-20) is better than CFA.
Pardon my tone earlier.
I landed in Ft. Lauderdale and drove to the Keys. It’s an epic drive along miles and miles of bridges. I was only in Key West for a night and had a good time. It’s very touristy. The museum and street theater on Mallory Pier were my favorite things. Bars are bars to me. Except, beware Garden of Eden. Get a pic of the most southern park of the US. You’re only 90 miles from Cuba.
I drove the strip of South Beach and Miami but did not hang around long.
I also spent a day in the Everglades which was clutch.
Honestly you can’t go wrong with your trip. Enjoy. Holla at me enroute if you need anything.
So how was it?
I’m in Miami tomorrow night if any of you guys wanna grab beers or any AF girls want to take me out on a hot date.
AF has girls now? I was pretty sure that we scared them all away…
^ Ay yo, help a brotha out Numi. Can you drop your .02 on my “What’s this job pay?” thread? My homeboy asked me and I don’t have a fuggin clue. It looks like a really cool job, but I don’t know anything else to tell him regarding pay, insight, and so forth.
FTFY
Leaving Friday nigth on the MLK long-weekend…
^make sure you eat conch fritters and key lime pie
The trip was awesome. 5 days of pure bliss! The weather was around 75F to 80F to begin with and we stayed at South Beach Miami right on the Ocean Drive, dined at several places - The drink quantity was LARGE. Massive Long Island Ice Tea glass - buy one get one free - Happy hour. We rented out a cabana by the beach and had corn on the cobs, coconut water, mojitos, margarita’s and sangaria’s …
It was a art deco weekend going on and there were lot of free fashion shows, rock & rolls, vintage cars for display on Ocean Drive all weekend long. We rented bicycles to move around 5th and 15th street.
Few of the places / clubs to try are - Nikki Beach (we loved it), SET, Mansion, Mokai, Cameo all fall under the parent Opium group and Bamboo.
Then we rented the dodge avenger and drove to Key West early morning - 5 to 9 and the drive was beautiful. We had a full day of watersports activity from 9 to 9 booked with Sunset Waatersports Key West and did all the 11 water activities along with Parasailing.
We stayed at the Inn at Key West and the resort was beautiful … nice warm pool and breakfast and drinks by the poolside. Did a lot of siteseeing in KeyWest - Southernmost tip, Mallory Square, US-1 Mile 0 marker. Had chocloate dipped key lime pie’s. Drove back after 2 days back to Miami downtown and headed back to New York. Touch down was at 4.00 AM with weather around 12F freaking cold.
Thanks all for the suggestions and some points for the future travellers.
For the record, did my suggestions help?
Absolutely CFAvsMBA
