We got cheap airline tickets to Fort Lauderdale when southwest had their sale earlier in the year. We will be there Thursday to Tuesday in October.
Now we have to decide what to do while there. Some ideas are go down to the keys, do a cruise to Bahamas, maybe rent a car and visit different beach towns in south florida?
Any ideas would be great! It's 4 adults, no kids.

A day trip to the Keys is a great idea.

Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Little Havana, Brickell, Wynwood and South Beach are all great places to hang out in Miami.

The Las Olas area in downtown Ft Lauderdale is very nice, too.

You can also drive north to West Palm Beach and stop at the different beach towns along the way.

- airboats on the everglades
- snorkeling

second little havana.

- share a cortadito with a couple old cubans at the walk-up window
(FROM GOOGLE: A cortadito is a Cuban style afternoon kick in the pants. )

- pick a cigar from 'cabana cigar' after watching the Cuban women make them in front of you.

- scarface aside, the cuban community is some of the best people you'll ever meet.

Key West.
Went there for 5 days in April and had a great time.

We flew directly in to Kew West, but I understand that the drive from Ft. L to Key West is a scenic ont. You don't want a car while you are in KW.

That is what I would do.

I would probably just stay around FLL and explore Las Olas and Ft Lauderdale beach. There’s a lot to take in just north and just south of that area without wasting time traveling to the keys or coming up to West Palm or jupiter. Pompano, highland beach, lighthouse point, Dania beach, Hollywood. Tons to do all around there with some old Florida beaches in the vicinity
