I will be in Miami for about 5 days next week, wondering if there are any residents who have recommendations on what a tourist should see/do/not miss?

I'm not a resident, but you might take a day trip down the Keys to Key West (We've made Florida City a relay point to alleviate some of the driving, but that adds a day). Stop at Whale Harbour Inn on Isla Morada (I think) for an unbelievable seafood buffet. Amazing antebellum architecture, open markets but wild at times . . .

I recommend that you pick me up a T-shirt.

Large should fit the bill. Thanks.

The only time I've been in Miami is to catch a connecting flight except for the time I had an overnight stay at a HoJo's (compliments of the airline carrier). So I can't say what are some of the hot spots & must see's in Miami.

I did find this link ... Top 11 Things To Do In Miami

Hope this helps some & Diane mentioned some great links as well.

Sam ... Have a great time in the Sunshine State.

Thanks everyone! Now I just need a moment to check all that out... San Fran is keeping me very busy!

I can't wait to see the T-shirt Sam is bringing back for me!

:oP

You can drop by and pick it up whenever you like Les!
