Key West

Took the opportunity to drive the 170 miles from South Beach down to Key West on the overseas highway

Great day out and lovely place to soak up up the sun with the roof down

Miami Marina

This place was great to see the city sky line and just appreciate the amount of money that resides within Miami

The houses were amazing. Also the largest Yacht was docked in Miami together with its helicopter

Them houses directly on the lake/sea/what ever remind me of GTA 3 and the middle island .

Seriously though. Looks lovely. I've been to bush gardens before. And down to key west too. Really nice chilled atmosphere down there.

houses were owned by Ricky Martin - the big one is the owner of Pfizer, the one with electra boat is Electra off baywatch, The modern one is Jennifer Lopez which is on the market for $30m

The Yacht is a quarter of billion owned by Denis Washington - largest Yacht in the world

I normally pay 20% anyway... though I have been on a work credit card for 3 months so might be a bit tighter in FL

I've been down in Atlanta a lot past few months, so I know pretty much what to expect on the weather... the unexpected, mainly.

Awesome photos!

I went to Florida last year but only for a week. Regretted it so much 'cos we couldn't get everything done. This year though we're going for two. Busch Gardens is definitely on cards for this year. Can't wait!

I love it, off to Blizzard Beach this time but only because I feel like we've got a duty to go after skipping it so many times. If it sucks, we'll be in TL by lunchtime
