Red Roof Inn Miami Airport, Miami

Welcome to Miami!

Advantages: Great beaches, nightlife and shopping
Disadvantages: it can be expensive

. We flew into Miami International Airport, one of the busiest in the world. Taxis are probably the easiest way of getting from A to B quickly. It took us around 10-15 minutes from the airport to the hotel on South beach (around $20-$30/ £15-£25). The port was only 5-10 minutes by taxi. Alternatively, you can opt for the metro bus. It runs from Miami Beach to west Miami-Dade and from the Middle Keys to the southern portion of Broward County. All buses are wheelchair accessible. There are over 900 buses, 94 Metro bus routes, several of which operate 24 hours a day. ***Feed me, feed me now!*** Two words; healthy and expensive. Having stayed in Florida many times before, I was expecting the food to be pleasant and cheap, as we had found around the Disney area. However, it was very hard to come across a restaurant that did breakfast for less ...

Review of Miami

Miami Ink!

Advantages: Interesting to watch, loads of cool tattoos to look at
Disadvantages: Often I find myself wanting a tattoo done by Chris Garver but unfortunately I don't live in Americ

Miami Ink, if you haven't heard about it already, is a TV show about a tattoo parlour in Miami (if you hadn't already guessed!). The series began in July 2005, introducing four eager tattooists, Ami James, Chris Nunez, Chris Garver and Darren Brass, as well as Ami's apprentice, Yoji Harada. Throughout the episodes new tattooists enter and go, the most famous probably being Kat Von D who turned the studio around with her beautiful portrait tattoos. Each show lasts about an hour long, and during that time we see a variety of clients enter the studio to get their tattoos. The guys who run/work in the studio are all fairly young, heavily tattooed and have been through different walks of life. Most of them have spent their lives tattooing, so working in the shop you can tell means a lot to them. Each artist has a different personality ...

Review of Miami Ink - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

The Trotters do Miami

Advantages: More brillaint humour and a great story
Disadvantages: dodgy canned laughter in latter part of episode

. Meanwhile, Rodney, (Nicholas Lyndhurst) and Cassandra, (Gwyneth Strong) are still struggling with their marriage, with Cassandra concentrating more on her career than her relationship. So when Del hears that Rodney has come into some money he decides to try and help their marriage by booking a holiday for the young couple, much to Rodney?s delight. Although, with Cassandra unable to get time off work, the holiday isn?t quite what Rodney hoped for, especially as Del manages to tag along. But once at their destination things go from bad to worse, with the Trotters somehow becoming involved in criminal activities, involving a mistaken identity and a family of very dodgy people, even more dodgy the Del himself. With Del and Rodney miles from home and in a bit of bother in Miami they are keen to get back to the safety of the streets ...
