I spent many years in Miami and love it. I am employed by USAIRWAYS. I am also a former police officer and would be glad to answer questions about personal safety or Miami
or what ever I can help with.

Paul,
Hello from the other end of the State. It is nice to have another "local" USAirways person on the board.
By the way, can you also give info on the Keys? In our old forum, the Keys were a hot spot. It will be great to have an expert in that area.
Feel free to contact me in Pensacola dialnet if you have any questions on this site or being a Corrspondant.

Hi Paul, welcome to the Board - south Florida and the Keys are a great place to visit!

Hello to all & thanks for the welcome. Just got back from Key Largo. You ask about info on the keys. Dont make the mistake I did going down. I drove US 1 all the way from Miami. A long hard way to go. Take the Fl. turnpike to US1 then continue down.

Can you help with Fort Lauderdale too?
Hi gwenus,
I haven't seen Paul around in a while but I sent him a message to see if he still wants to participate as a Correspondent. You might give it a couple of days and if we don't here back, I'd just start a new topic in North America with your FLL question. Chances are someone will respond.

I'm back. Go ahead with your question & I'll give it a try http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...#>/biggrin.gif
Hi Paul. Thanks for reply. I managed to catch an ID90 deal at Weston at Vacation Village. Checked trip advisor and most reviews are good. Do you know Weston? I've got a couple of kids in their late teenage years who love mucking about in the pool. My doughter likes shopping and my son likes water sports. My husband just likes lounging by the pool! Florida seems like a good bet for all those things in Mar and as the exch rate for my GBP is good I can't think of a better place to visit as we all really love your country and the Floridians are so friendly.
It appears to me that you pretty much have the perfect spot. It's either in or near Bonaventure. Approx 15 miles from Ft. Lauderdale airport. Even though I ,ve never been there I feel there is no way you can go wrong on this catch. I may have to try this my self.
Also if you like Conch Chowder & Bimini bread. The best on the planet is a place called Ernies BBQ . It's on US 1 approx 1 to 1 1/2 mi. North of FLL on the left. My old stomping ground. You can go to Google &type in Ernies BBQ and get lots of info if interested. Enjoy your trip.
http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...#>/biggrin.gif Hi Paul. I just caught your reply and just wanted to say thanks.
I'll let you know how it goes. Got to get there, of course, and in all honesty my LHR-MIA flights don't look particulary good but I've managed MCO at -47 so it's always difficult to know. With ten years interlining behind me I know that backups are essential travel companions so we may be BOS bound first.
Thanks again

Hi Paul, (or anyone else that can help)
I'm headed to LAS but on my way back am connecting in ATL to continue to MIA. I'm headed to South Beach for a couple of days for a little R&R before I start the new job.
I'm doing the econo-backpacking-hostel thing that worked pretty well for me last time. The Clay Hotel/Hostel was the pits last time so I've booked The Miami Beach International Travellers Hostel. TripAdvisor reviews were mostly positive.
Anyway, last time I took the "super shuttle" from the airport. I'm just wondering if it would be fairly simple to take public transportation. My hotel confirmation says, "From the airport... take the J bus to 41st Street & Indian Creek transfer to C or K bus to 9th Street and Washington Ave.
I'll check out the public transport website but in the mean time was wondering if anyone had any experience with this. I'll be arriving MIA 5pm 22APR (hopefully... I'm on an s4 buddy pass). I like the adventure of finding my way around and using the public transport but is it worth the hassle and savings? Should I just take the shuttle?
Ok, I'm guessing that no one has experience with this so I've visited the transit site. They have a uility that lets you put in your origin, destination and time and it gives multiple routes. I'm planning on giving it a try so will let y'all know how it goes.
Chris:
I'm late here but I'm not in for the big adventures like I use to be http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...DIR#>/wink.gif I really have no experience with the bus except one time from the airport to "Little Havana". I would use the shuttle.
Guess you can let us know how it went.
Thanks Paul. I canceled the MIA trip at the last minute. I'll let you know how that goes after I reschedule... probably not real soon.
