Yeah, Miami would have actually been the good place to go. Cut across on I-4 or whatever, then head south.

Wynwood is the trendy arts, shopping, restaurants area with good vibes. Lots of attractive people in their 20s and early 30s walking around.
 
I have no Miami recs but I do recommend reading Miami native Kent Russell who writes well about his hometown, specifically his collection of essays I Am Sorry to Think I Have Raised a Timid Son

sister of Karen Russell, who I have not read, but got much acclaim for Swamplandia
 
this Miami discussion also brings to mind the episode in Louie when he goes to Miami and befriends the much younger locals

Is that the sequel or prequel to Portlandia ?

I’m already seeing people who were forced to evacuate from St. Pete and Clearwater and went in-land (Lakeland to Orlando) post regrets because they’re going to get pounded worse than if they’d stayed home.

Yeah my mom was at Disney World yesterday with my aunt and uncle and they left to drive to Atlanta. Was supposed to fly out on Friday to LA to go to Disneyland and a USC game but is now flying out to Vegas to stay with my sister a few days then drive with them to LA. Very glad they got out ahead of the storm and traffic.

After this summer we will have been to Florida 3 summers in a row. After Disney we're crashing a couple days in the village.
 
My daughter would like Wynwood. My son would be despondent in such a place.
 
@TownieDeac I totally forgot you were reading Carl Hiaasen, now it makes sense. Yes absolutely go to the keys and stay in some of the off the beaten path places.
 
My daughter would also spend every cent she ever earned in 30 minutes and start begging her mom to buy her something.
