Mr. Pod has the idea he wants to go somewhere warm around the middle of February. He's pushing for Miami (he's been, I haven't), but it's so expensive, and I'm not sure I'm feeling it.
Any input about Miami or points south? Thanks in advance.

Why not go on to Key West? I have never been to Key West, but I would love to go.

Captiva, but take your "How to speak German" book. You'll need it to communicate with the rest of the tourists

What all do y'all like to do Peapod? Are you wanting relaxing do nothing much trip, shop till you drop trip, solitude, fishing, eating out, drinking, running amuck....what kind of holiday do you want?

We like the keys...can point to some interesting items in that direction. How many days?

Rent a car in Miami and drive down through the Keys. I'm DYING to do this.

sarafunn and I did this. But, we just hooked it down to Key West. I would have loved stopping and visiting along the way.

Skip Miami and go on down to the Keys. But it dosen't compare to Sowal tho.

Exactly my thoughts. But I do like Key West. Driving the Keys is a neat experience, though it does take longer than you would think! My first choice, if you don't want to SoWal, would be Sanibel/Captiva. Key West is a lot of funn. Both are very casual. Miami has just gotten so over the top. Some people like to people-watch in South Beach, but I would just walk around feeling fat and unhip. (Or would that be hippy yet unhip?? )

Key West is the perfect setup for a short trip- you can walk or bike anywhere- and y'all have to go to the nekkid bar....
