Water Taxi Service Comes To Miami

Post author By jenniferwollmann
Post date February 10, 2012

Yeah! There is now a water taxi in Miami. There are currently only six stops between Miami, Miami Beach and the Miami River, but there are plans to add in Crandon Park and Grove Isle in the future. Though still in it’s infancy, I would like to see it become a commuter option in the future. I spent many years in the San Francisco Bay area and have fond memories of commuting into the city on a ferry. A boat ride into work has to be so much more relaxing than a trip over 395, 195, Rickenbacker Causeway or down US 1 during rush hour!

Today is election day in Florida. Unfortunately, many people think it is only for the Republican Primary and don’t realize there are probably other items to vote on on the ballot. In Miami-Dade there are two charter amendments and Miami Gardens and Florida City have special election items.

Please get out and vote!

Key West: A Great Weekend Getaway!

: Truman Hotel

There are so many great weekend get-aways in Florida. I took a quick trip to Key West this weekend for a historic tour. Most bed and breakfasts require a two night stay, but the lovely and updated Truman Hotel, two blocks from Duval Street, did not.

We watched the sunset, did the tourist Conch Train Tour, ate a couple of really nice meals (dinner at Pisces was particularly delicious) did some shopping (really cute towels and gifts at Towels of Key West) and enjoyed the trip both there and back.

Next time I go down, I am going to focus on the water activities! We really are lucky to live in South Florida.
