Miami


MIAMI☀

 

Every time I think of Miami I start singing Will Smith’s song “Welcome to Miami”.

 

Miami is definitely a good place to vacation if you like to relax, shop, party and the beach.

 
In October 2015, I traveled to Miami, Florida for 4 days.

 

Hotel: Cannot remember but it was in South Beach.

 

Highlights: First off, Miami is great because it is surrounded by water and a warm place. As I live in Canada, it was refreshing to travel down south in the fall to a warm place. We decided to stay in South Beach that way we were closer to the beach, shops and the nightlife.  

 

The people in South Beach were very friendly which was nice and they were always open to assist with directions. If you are looking to shop there were numerous stores and boutiques in South Beach; Lincoln Road, Collins Ave and Washington Ave.

 

The beach was a 7-minute walk from our hotel which was great. Along the beach there are A LOT hotels as well should you want to stay closer. During the time we were there, the beach was calm and the water was cold therefore unfortunately we did not spend much time at the beach as we planned to.

 

For transportation, we walked A LOT which was nice to explore the streets and all that was going on. Otherwise we took taxis and Uber.

 

Places to check out: Bayside Marketplace/Marina Area

Shopping in South Beach

 

The nightlife in South Beach was the best part; Story and IVY nightclubs were really fun! We met a promoter who showed us a few other wicked spots to party as well. LIV is also an amazing club (we heard a lot about it but did not get a  chance to go L next timeeee!)

 

It is a must to check out Fountain Bleau Miami Beach if you can stay there and/or just visit for a day like we did. We spent the day and rented a cabana and it was AMAZING. The pools were spectacular, the services, alcohol and food. 

 

Downtown Miami (Bayside Marketplace) was very nice and felt very much like a tourist area. There was an outdoor shopping mall and a lot of restaurants. It was nice to see all the boats along the marina and we went on a boat tour. The boat tour was short but definitely worth it! It showed all the homes on the water and we learn a little history about Miami, Florida. We also got to see dolphins during the tour! Sooo cool!

If I were to go back to Miami it would be during the Carnival as we heard so much great things about it and had just missed it !!!
Food: I’ll give it a 5/10 as we stuck to American cuisine at local spots and chains.



Big Pink in South Beach was my favorite restaurant.  

 
Pros: The nightlife and the weather.

There was a lot of things to see; art deco, the marina, the beach and amazing views.  

Cons: The water was cold at the beach but I am sure it is not always the case.

Packing List

Hey Friends! As promised here is my "go to packing list" that I wanted to share with you all. Keep in mind that you may not always need everything on this list or things may be missing depending on your personal preferences. To stay ahead of the game, you can always check the weather of your destination as you may not need certain items depending on the location/season to where you are traveling!  A new item that I have been using are packing cubes which allows you to pack more in a small space. (I did mention this in my “Money Saving Tips” but just in case you missed it). Packing cubes can be found online on amazon, Walmart and Marshalls/Winners and - prices range from 17-40$ CAD. Another helpful packing tip would be to try your best to plan outfits that way you do NOT over pack. * PLEASE learn to roll your clothes and/or fold them very small. (Trust me, you live and learn LOL) Packing list: Outfit for the plane ride bac...

Welcome to Travel Niche Kish 💗

Hey Friends! Welcome to My Blog Travel Niche Kish ! I decided to start a blog to document my travel journey that began 8 years ago to share my memories and ideas with the world. Yes, I have traveled to places prior to 8 years ago, but traveling really became my passion after traveling for a girls trip to Cuba in 2011.  To date, I have had the opportunity to travel to 12 countries and 16 US States solo, with friends and/or with family. Every time my friends or family are planning a trip, they always ask me where they should go, what hotel/resort they should choose and what things can they do/see while on vacation. I must say, I am not an expert on all of the places I have traveled to but I definitely have learned  A LOT  in every place. I have always been encouraged by my friends and family to share my experiences, photos and ideas - therefore I have decided to create a blog doing just that :) In my blog, I will be sharing my past travel loca...

Road Trips 🚗

Hey Friends 💖 Since my blog is all about traveling, I wanted to talk about road tripping! “I been trippin, I'm trip trippin " ♫♫♫ When I was a kid, my parents would always take my brother and I on road trips to Québec City to visit our family. At the time, I lived in Halifax, Nova Scotia so that was 12 hours in the car! 😐  To be honest, I do not enjoy driving long hours anymore but I must admit road trips can be fun and an adventure when you are traveling with people! I have taken numerous road trips from Toronto, such as to Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Ottawa, Québec, Montreal, Blue Mountain, Nova Scotia, Virginia and Florida! If you are not in a hurry to get to your destination, I would say stop somewhere on your way and check out a new town/city! Keep in mind that a road trip DOES NOT have to be somewhere far and you can always go on a day trip.  If you do choose to go somewhere for more than 24 hours, I would recommend that you explore events and/or things to d...
