Things to see in FL????

So I have a few Freq Flyer miles, hotel points etc to use, so me and Tye decided to kill a few days and go check out Universal Studio's in FL. We are flying into Orlando on a Thur, spending Friday at Universal, then getting a car and driving to Miami Sat for a day of wandering around cigar shops and checking out the nightlife.

Any suggestions on 'must see' things to do or places to visit in either city for us? Well have Thur & Fri Night in Orlando free and all day sat in Miami.....

I've been to FL a couple times but never for a true vacation with time to see what I wanted before....

Go race the old NASCAR vehicles. They have a track out there where you can haul ass around the track. That would be pretty cool.

I'll have to look it up online. We don't really have any major plan just wanted to get away together for a bit.

So I got back from FL on Sunday and what a fun trip it was....We got in Thursday night and just checked into the hotel and went to Carraba's for dinner. Friday we wen to Universal Studio's which is always a fun trip, walked around the city walk afterward and stopped at Cigarz at Citywalk for a drink and a cigar for Tye....then we headed to Corona Cigar Factory, which is a huge and I do mean huge cigar store/bar. Corona Cigar Retail Store

Great place if you enjoy cigars.....not my thing but Tye loves them.

anyway, went to a local Italian place that night for some 1st class treatment. Wow, it was very inexpensive but you would have thought you were a celebrity. Antonio's on Sand Lake Road - I highly recomend it if you're in the area.

Sat we headed to the airpor to pick up the rental car... for $77 they gave us an Impala......but for $30 more we get this..


Money well spent I say...

So we cruised in style to Miami, checked out Little Havana and the cigar factories there, had some excellent Cuban Food and headed to South beach for the evening....Wrapped it up with some wine by the pool at the hotel while Tye enjoyed a cigar and headed home Sunday.

Great trip! we had a blast just hanging out and doing whatever we wanted. We def want to go back and check out more of Miami Beach for a long weekend though.

Welcome back, glad ya'll had fun.

Personally I hate Flordia (too hot and way too flat) but going in the winter might make it a better.
