No friend of South FLA

I vacationed in the Destin and Sowal area for over 20 years, in May 2008 we visited Sanibel and Key West as well. Love Key West, Sanibel was too expensive and boring. Back to Key West in Dec 08 and went to Miami and SoBe as well. HATED Miami and SoBe and that airport is from the bowels of HELL!! We did like the cuban food though!

I lived in Keys last year for 6 months, and visited Miami and SouthBeach a bunch. No it is not like here for sure. But it is still a blast. The people watching is so fun. The water is always warm and a gorgeous color. The cuban food is my favorite. We are pretty spoiled here by how unique our area is. But I wouldn't knock other areas of the country. Every city is its own special place.

I wasn't knocking any other area of Florida - I was stating facts.
The beach in Palm Beach was very crowded the last time I was there and the sand was not nearly as pretty as ours. I hardly think this is "knocking" another area.

We have relatives in WPB so have been to South Florida many times. I do love the Cuban food and I love to sit at a cafe on Ocean BLvd and watch the peeps go up and down the street - many times with an iguana on a shoulder.
