We had the chance to start and stop this trip in Miami (Thanks to Alaska Airs direct service from Seattle) .  If you have not had the chance to be a tourist in Miami- I suggest you do it.  South Beach with the restored Art Deco buildings is really quite something.  We tagged along with a local museum tour as they explained all the lingo with Art Deco-eeybrows, frozen waterfalls, decals, porches and so on.

I noticed that the locals are much more active than other cities – it is more like California/Vancouver this way. If your loved one likes to shop. Lincoln Ave is a good place to stay away from.  The shoe stores alone will break you.

Enjoy the snaps.
