Vacation To Miami?

Question

We would like to take a vacation to Miami In October. During that time of the year how is the weather there? Are the Hotels reasonable? Does anyone know where I can find a reasonable vacation package to Miami fo two people?

Answer 1

I've been in Miami in October a couple of times and thought it was good. You are still in hurricane season (ends in November) so the weather CAN be unpredictible. I've had sunny and low 80s, humid and high 80s, and CRAZY torrential rains.

I don't know about vacation packages or anything like that for Miami, since I go directly thru the carriers - air, car, and hotel. (I used to have access to a condo, but not anymore.) But, shop around on Expedia or Travelocity for starters and see which work for you the best and then go to the direct websites and see if they can beat it. I know JetBlue and Delta do vacation packages as well - you might want to consider those.

Good luck!

Answer 2

If ahhchoo knew what she was talking about, she'd get her names right. There is no Lincoln Street, (at least not on Miami Beach); it is Lincoln Road. Nor is there a Washington Street. It is Washington Avenue. "Deco Drive" is a TV Show. The beachfront drive with all the Deco hotels and the Versacci mansion is Ocean Drive. Nor is it 3 miles from Lincoln Road. The north end of Ocean Drive is only two blocks from the east end of Lincoln Rd. And the name for the street between 14 & 15 St. off Washington is Espanola Way. The only "fire ants" in South Florida are in farming or distant rural areas. As to "ghettos," except for the "Black Grove" which adjoins the "White Grove" the high crime areas are far from anywhere tourists are likely to wander. Get a guidebook or look up articles on So. Fla. for things to see & do.
