Update: 6/2005 - I visited Miami for a week for business. Miami is an interesting city. I spent my week working with one of my favorate customers. At night I entertained myself by visiting the various bars of South Beach. I discovered a new drink ... the Mojito! (Thanks Mike!) The Mojito is a Cuban drink that goes down as easy as Sodapop, but has all the kick of rum. Wow.
The folks in the bars are not quite as friendly as those in England, but I still managed to keep myself entertained. Quite honestly I think Miami would have been a lot more fun if I did NOT go alone.

Daytona Beach was my home during late 1987 / early 1988 (And my first year of college). Lots of fun ! Vero Beach remains the home of my uncle and grandparents. I have also spent countless vacations in this state at Disney, Universal Studios, etc.
