Miami Hotels / Restaurants / Must Do's

Well, finally getting a chance to log in, just got back last night. Thank you all for helping me with this...

A lot of our time was devoted to relaxing at the pool in Miami and the beach and hang out with my buddy who has moved to FL and my uncle.

We stayed at the Westin Diplomat which is the nicest freakin' Westin I've ever stayed at. Even better, we used points so it was free.

Across A1A from the Dip was an awesome bar right on the intracoastal called Nikki Marina. Went there twice it was so nice.

We drove through Miami, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables and Calle Ocho..had a great lunch at Versailles (Cuban) and got a chance to stop in at Don Pepin Cigars and picked up a Tat, La Gloria Cubana and saw the rollers and I'll post pics on here as soon as I can...and last but not least, stopped in on Padron right before closing time. They only sell boxes so I was a little disappointed and saving up for Aruba...but the office itself is beautiful and had I had time and mrsreindeer not been pregnant, I would not have minded lighting up a Padron I brought along for the ride, just in case.

Hollywood, FL / Sunny Isles restaurants we hit up:

Hollywood Prime right in the Westin was off the hook. While I like my steaks without steakhouse, their homemade version is incredible.

Timo Restaurant @ 17624 Collins Ave was AWESOME.
