Hey Everyone,
I posted this question on TripAdvisor's forums and basically got no responses. Since the people here are so nice, I figured I would ask here!
My wife and I are flying to Miami April 8-13 (Sat-Thurs before Easter). We are 30 year-olds from UpperSoCal, who have never been to Florida. We are more of active types rather than lie-on-the-beach-with-a-Corona/Mojito types. Interested in culture, physical beauty, etc.
First, do we have a chance to see a lot and not be overrun with crazy Spring Breakers? For some reason, I am picturing a state overrun with crazy college kids and Northern families.
We will be renting a car, and we would like to see the big sites in South Florida. As we understand, the must-do's in SoFlo are checking out Miami, driving down to Key West, and seeing the Everglades. Is this correct, or are there other must-see places?
Basically we have no real ideas or itinerary, so any and all advice is appreciated. If anyone can recommend nicer towns to stay in, or where to stay out of, that is appreciated too. For instance, are there ghetto areas of Miami we have to be wary of when booking a hotel?
Thanks in advance and sorry for being so vague,
George
