According to the map, we will be on the island Miami Beach connected by the I-195 and the I-395.

What are some good tourist attractions? We've hit Gatorland and that Lion Safari before. I was looking at Monkey Jungle? We were also interested in doing things like swimming with the dolphins or perhaps going underwater with the sharks.

Well, we already paid for our stay at the resort but what could we do at the Keys? What is Brickwell exactly?

I might check out a Heat game if they play the Bulls. Show you guys what real fans are like.

Thanks for the responses. What else would you recommend I must hit in the southern part of Florida? We usually go to Orlando and go to Universal Studios, (pissed that the King Kong ride is gone), City Walk, Epcot, etc. etc.
