REVIEW: South Beach/ Miami Vacation 2008 Part I

I can't remember what exactly made us choose Miami. We had been on some weekend-/city-trips before but never on a "real" vacation together as a couple. Our requirements: relaxing, sunny and a beach, and absolutely inexpensive. Our inital thought was Egypt, one of the cheapest vacation spots on earth. But that whole "charter flight/ package holiday/ stay in your all-inclusive resort all day"- mentality didn't appeal to us and we joked about making our dream come true and visit the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. I started doing some research and was amazed to find some real good steals. After 11 hours (!) straight in front of my laptop, comparing rates and reviews i clicked the "Confirm" button at 3am in the night. 1500€ bargain Miami was booked!
