Ok the wife is fed up with the BS going on in our city with budget cuts and layoffs and wants out of town for the weekend next weekend. We decided lets go to So Fla! Where is a good beach area to stay in, not really into too much partying and drinking so a family area is fine too. I know we have a bunch of BOTL in that area so help me out fellas. Thanks

When you say South Florida, the choices are endless.
There is Dade County, Miami, South Beach, etc.
Broward, Ft. Lauderdale, Las Olas, Hollywood, etc.
Palm Beach, Boca Raton, West Palm, City Place, etc.

Living in Boca Raton, for a family getaway, quiet, yet in the middle of it all, I personally always go to the Embassy Suites in Deerfielfield Beach.
Great resort, beach across a short street, and in the middle of it all just a short ride away, yet quiet, secluded.
Close to Ft. lauderdale airport.
Great Cuban restaurant nearby (Little Havana) a short drive from anything.
We have been there with the likes of Don Mattingly, Phil Rizzuto and Don King.
If good enough for them, good enough for me and at very reasonable price.
Great restaurant on the beach down the street (JB's).
Plus, let me know and will gladly join you for a smoke.
You are welcome to stop by my place, known for some crazy herfs.

It'll be July 21-23. Not sure where yet though.

Let me know where and I'll let you know of close places to have a stick if your up to it! :-)

Lots of nice places in Palm Beach, it's off season so prices should be pretty reasonable at most places.

Help me out West Palm Beach vs Fort Lauderdale?
[Reply]

Me?

Ft. lauderdale. Right in the middle.

Please tell your wife to get those pasteles de guayaba going or August/September........please? Pretty please? :-)

Ok. We shall contemplate. Savanah, Ga is also a posibility as she has never been and it's been a long time since i've been there.
[Reply]

No worries, I'll be sure to bring a batch with me :-)

Two different worlds.
Not even on same planet.

I enjoy Savanah, staying at Hyatt but that river is not Ft. lauderdale.
Those pralines are not Cuban food.
Bikinis are not in Savanah as they are in South Florida.
Sun not the same.
In Savanah, once you go to Paula Dean's and see her food is not as good as you see on tv, what then? I was so, so disappointed the two times I went to eat there.
Guarantee you choices in South Florida will never cease.
If you go to Savanah, tell Paula I want my money back.:-)

Delaware is nice this time of year.

lol

Ok if we stay in Ft Lauderdale but not right on the beach, how easy is it to get access to the beach? Lots of parking or only a little?
[Reply]

Going to Connecticut in October

Perhaps Massachusetts in July then? :-)
