Miami Beach, specifically South Beach, at the height of college/university spring break- what could possibly go wrong with this idea?? I have to admit that somewhere in the grey memories of my own university days, I was somewhat envious of the Arts Majors types that could take a week or so off for spontaneous debauchery (Engineering deep thinkers had a nasty habit of scheduling an exam phase which would immediately follow our spring break). That said, Miami Binge...

After a bit of quiet time in Dunedin, DH was eager to get adventurous and check out another of our bucket list destinations- the Forida Everglades.To talk about them as the Florida Everglades is somewhat redundant because they are the only Everglades in the world (UNESCO designated the Everglades as one of only three wetland areas of global importance).

Leaving Key West and heading to Key Largo involved using the Overseas Highway, a dramatic 127 mile car ride and an engineering marvel that connects all of the Keys to the mainland. It was not, however, our next Wow but it was the means to get to our next big experience (although, to be fair, this was my big experience and definitely not DH's).As we've wandered the planet, DH (where the D does not stand for Dangerous Diva) has identified a number of activi...
