I'm thinking about going to the Miami show. But its early for me to plan for sure.

not that far away Bubba!!!!:dunno

Poor thing, cry me a river....waaaahhhhhhh wwwwaaaaahhhhhhhh :string

I've got my Dad wanting to maybe go with. He likes yachts so good place to see those. Looks like my going maybe is turning into better do some bookings soon!

The boss says we'll be in Florida the month of Feb, if we are I think we'll drive up spend a night and head back to the Keys and end up doing 2 days at the show

stay up 4 a couple nights ya punk!!!:nutkick

I'm pretty sure I'm going. Looking into flights, so far non are direct to Miami. So its a pain in the butt flight wise. I'm might pop over to the Dominican Republic after the show! :1bounce

Im flying into Ft lauderdale Taxi is $75 to south beach and got direct flights for less than flights w stops.

Thats what we did for years, stayed on Harbor Beach and went to the show every other day. Little more laid back then South Beach.

I can't wait until Miami. Couldn't get a direct flight so its a pain in the butt to fly into Miami, but I'll survive. I'm thinking about going to the Dominican Republic from Miami. Have a mini vacation!

Miami, US to Dominican Republic is 766.76 miles. A new Nor-Tech CC with a bladder would make it!!

Anyone know of reasonably cheap/safe place to get a room nearby just to crash in for a night?

not much is cheap in that area!! esp when the show is on!! captive audience!! dif ways 2 look at it! stay a ways out & have 2 drive in 2 the show/park'n/party'n/drive'n back/rental car/etc!! stay closer/pay more/walk or short cab/no drive'n worries/party like a rock star?????

my wife just got the week approved from work for vacation so we are in. this is my first miami show ever what area of the city is the best to stay in for the show, south beach? were thinking of coming in on wed and staying till sunday all she is gonna want to do is lay out by the pool and get a tan and all im gonna want to do is drool over boats and boobies so if that helps narrow down the criteria

I have stayed at the Shelbourne(sp) B4 as Dr. Little Petey has! OK pool & about 1 block walk 2 the convention center! My 20th year!! Damn I'm FK'n old!!:banghead

True dat!

up yours & the eggbeater ya rode in on!!!!:nutkick

I see that after checking online. I am driving over on Thursday from Marco Island, leaving the wife and kids there so can only stay for the day and maybe overnight. All I need is fallback place to sleep it off if the party is rockin, dont need a 2 hour drive back after partying all afternoon. My first time so I am pretty excited. Oh well, I will find something, more than worth it from everything I have heard.

Just booked my room for Miki and me at the Blue Moon

I usually book hotels at the last minute on priceline because get pretty good deals this way. But it looks like hotels in Miami get booked fast for the show. So I'll look at booking today!

If ya got the coin,we've stayed at "the hotel" in SB which is nice. Their rooftop pool is great overlooking the ocean and the service is pretty good though rooms small. I couldn't find the deal there as in years past but found one at the Savoy. It's a cab to the convention but right on beach and they got a couple of pools that the wife likes.

Everything in Miami during the boat show is full

Looking at Hotels tonight. I'll have a rental car so no need to be close to the show. I'm checking out the Hotel in South Beach.

Big party at MM54 after the show!! :stirpot

I used www.otel.com for the 1st time to book my hotel and saved over 1K versus booking direct to the hotel for our upgraded room. I was a bit skeptical at first but after booking called the hotel and confirmed my reservation was real and valid.

If U R stay'n in SB I would recommend no car rental, walk or short cab around!!! lotza traffic, parking issues, party'n issues!! etc/etc, not worth it!!!
good luck!

Maybe I'll skip the rental car. But I like having a car on vacation even if I don't use it that much.

Like a month 1/2 away people!!! Hard 2 believe!!!:rock

I heard they don't have WiFi there this year- finally some peace and knowledgeable post on the boards...
