From Miami Beach 411:

• Summer in Miami: Can You Hack It? It’s real easy to consider yourself a loving Miamian when it’s 80 degrees in December, who the Hell doesn’t enjoy that? But you wanna be a local? Then love it when it’s 93 degrees and you can’t walk to your mailbox without breaking a sweat.  [...]
• Miami: Where the Sun Shines Through the Pouring Rain Miami is a city of fast money and even faster losses. A city of brash dreams and crashed schemes. A city with more booms and busts than John Travolta’s career. [...]
• Orlando Bus Ride with Free Breakfast and Wi-Fi Customers often tell us our $35 bus ride to Orlando is a great deal, but we want to let you know, it just got a whole lot better. We are now offering free breakfast and Wi-Fi onboard. [...]
• The Psychedelic Lifeguard Stands on South Beach Did a UFO just land on the beach? Did Liberace’s yacht just wash up on shore? No, it’s just SoBe’s enthralling assortment of trippy lifeguard stands.  Here are a few of the most memorable examples. [...]
• Going to Key West? You Must Try Blue Heaven Restaurant In the middle of a residential neighborhood in Key West, there is a place that is so magical that to call it a restaurant seems like an insult. When you walk in, you immediately understand why it is called Blue Heaven.  [...]
