...I had a 2 hour stopover on my way back home from South America, and it was a hellish 2 hours, during which I could never be sure I would make my connection. The airport is absolutely chaotic, too busy and understaffed, and doesn't inspire any kind of confidence if you've a connection to make. I had the added disadvantage of being on crutches and with a flight to catch, but there is no clear system to expedite passengers who are in this situation. Contrast with JFK in New York, where a simple comment to a member of staff that I had little time to make my connection made sure I sped through every queue. In Miami, chances are the staff wouldn't even understand you, as they mostly speak Spanish. Now I'm not against languages other than English, and I'm not one of these travellers who expect English to be spoken in all foreign countries...

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

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 than $10 (£7...

I’m such a perfume fiend, I love to try anything new that’s doing the rounds, so this was no different. I’d first seen this advertised on the TV, and to be honest I didn’t really given it a second glance, because I remembered how much I hated J Lo Glow,... more
