First time south - what to do?

Hi, We have 4 nights in Miami and would like to explore some of the Keys while we are down that far. There will be hubby, myself and 3 teens. We love to explore and snorkel and shop just alittle for bargains. Any suggestions? Can we do part of the Keys in a day? THANKS!

First time south - what to do?

if you do a northern key maybe, but I am not an expert.

As far as bargin shopping goes. There is the sawgrass mills mall. It is the largest outlet mall in america and is amazing. Great high end outlet stores, great resturants and other activites. It is actually a little north of ft lauderdale and depending where you are staying in miami about an 45 minutes away. I would make a stop. Especially if it rains it is a great way to kill a rainy afternoon. It is worth it. Just going for the ralph lauren outlet is worth it to me. The neiman marcus discounts are great also and so are saks both especially for shoes.

wwwsawgrassmillsmallcom (I think if I put the periods in they will not post my post) This should give you all the info you need. Since you are down that way, you should stop at the mai kai it is a pretty good place to eat, the tropical drinks are strong, it is very festivly decorated. You kids will think it is awsome. You have to get a tropical drink they are amazing there. Have one of the kids drive yall home. It is a nice little afternoon trip. The full on polyonesian show is always a good time. Kids under 12 dont have to pay to watch it either. Also on their website they have links to coupons and other cool stuff. wwwmaikaicom. It is always a good evening. Even if you dont go to the mall depending on where you are staying in miami it shouldn%26#39;t be more than a half hour away. It is a polynesian tropical oasis right in the middle of south florida!
