As far as transportation goes (since I won't have a car), is taking a taxi the most efficient way? I'm staying with a good friend of mine who goes to FIU so my stay is free. Therefore, I don't mind spending a few bucks on a taxi if its faster and safer. Thoughts? And lastly.. I CAN'T WAIT!

its my first time also down there
taxi i belive is the best way to get around, but there is a bus that runs from south beach to downtown miami where all of the clubs are
i dont think the bus runs all night tho

anyone know which bus iam talkin about?

fiu is pretty far away. thats like a 20-30 min drive to south beach or downtown depending on traffic. a cab from all the way down there is gonna cost you an arm and a leg. i hope your friend lives someplace closer than the actual fiu campus.

im gonna be posting a public transportation thread VERY soon. that will answer all your questions.

i found this site http://www.miamidade.gov/transit/routes1.asp which has a link to a Transit System Map. Basically all the bus routes laid out on a map, and you can zoom in/out. Im staying at Fairfield Southeast of the MIA, so i'll be taking route 7 to route 120, which will land me right on south beach... on Collins i believe.

Bus is very cheap.. like 2 bucks .. But you gotta be patient

if its your first time and you're not staying on south beach or immediate area downtown...you're missing 1/2 the fun.
The atmosphere on SOBE is awesome during conference...tons of people running around, lots of energy...music blasting out of every hotel, car, pool, etc.
You're going to miss some of the best people watching...

It's my first time going, and I can't wait!

Likewise! WMC Virgin as well, and bringing another one with me!

I didn't know you were going. What parties are you hitting up?

i believe she lives on 80th and whatever street it is that goes parallel to the ocean right next to it. so all i have to do is go up and down it, not across!
