Florida




I grew up in Europe and when i was a teenager it was very common to travel to Florida as it seems to be a big dream come to true during the early nineties. Well as I do many things not "on time" I decided to give it a try during my recent stay in California as First Class Travel on United is nowadays a different story to cattle class the "dream come true guys" where on. As I had some flights in and out of Tampa International so I opted for the very nice Intercontinental Tampa , as they do offer free of charge Airport transfer. The Hotel is located in an office building, so not a resort like place you might think of, when going to Florida. But the service received was very nice. Rooms where comfortable and they do have free Wifi. I you are in a hurry in the morning, I would recommend the Illy coffee shop on lobby floor. During the weekend we had two days off- perfect for a road trip to Miami! In my opinion Florida is famous for jewish grannies, the gay community, white dressed and black skinned guys and of cause Florida Rolf. So what do you think what car I opted for at Avis counter- right! A huge white convertible car!!! Perfect for cruising around Miami Beach and hunting for an alligator in the Everglades.

After a day of driving via Orlando, West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale we finally arrived in Miami, but make sure you have the right address in your GPS (the Avis one sucks) as we first stopped at a "spaniocal" Hyatt before heading to our reserved Hyatt Miami
If you are seeking some more entertainment besides some beers at the bar and a final "Presidente" beer before going to sleep you should consider one of the following places:
