Miami - The Gateway of the Americas



we're going to miami !! we're going to hang out with the cruise liners and the latin american bands and the beach go-ers. we're also going to do some diving - yayyy !

i've sent a couple of emails off. there is a really good site for information on diving in miami - funnily enough its called Dive Miami.
they recommend loads of things to see and do and they seem to be centered around the Convention Center, Washington Avenue, Collins Avenue etc.

i have been using nz.hotels.com to find a hotel in a good area with all the things we might need but there is so much choice and the rates seem pretty reasonable.
so i'm putting a list up and nell and i can choose from that. i havent had enough coffee to make the decision myself!

The Wave Hotel - about $55.00 - $70.00 USD per night each
The Beacon Hotel - about $70.00 - $85.00 USD per night each
Starlite Hotel - about $50.00 USD per night each
Hotel Shelley - from $35.00 - $80.00 USD per night each
Royal South Beach Hotel - $40.00 - $50.00 USD per night each
New Clinton Hotel and Spa - $50.00 to $60.00 USD per night each

i really like the look of the Hotel Shelley or the New Clinton Hotel and Spa

things to remember though - we are going to be diving in miami so maybe a smaller cheaper room is better for the budget. or do we not really care about that. we are flashpackers after all !!

constructive comments and votes greatly appreciated !

I vote for the New Clinton Hotel and Spa.
Looks good and has some very good reviews.
