X2, when we went a couple of years ago we took the shuttle to the actual show and got a town car (w/driver) at night to cruz South Beach and go bar hopping, had a blast.

I think we stayed at the Marriot Biscayne Bay, from what I remember

went last year for the first time... stayed close enough to walk..did rent a car to run up to Ft. Lauderdale to look at a few boats...but walk and take shuttles to the show and out at night. parking is a real mutha..reminds me of New Orleans french quarter on fridays saturdays and sundays...LOL what a mess!!!

One of these days..... It won't come from the boat show though. You all going this year?
