    Hi Mikey! Welcome to 411

    Thank goodness you are all over 21, otherwise your trip would be crap. That is literally the BUSIEST week here, as it is Spring Break. You boys are going to have a fabulous time. But bring your ID everywhere you go, you are going to need it.

    St Patricks Day is literally bigger than here than in England. People go all out, they drink green beer, everyone wears green and good luck getting in to an Irish Bar that day.

    Jet skis are fun if you want to do it. Shop around and find a good price though. Doing it straight off the beach infront of a hotel is going to be more expensive than renting from the marina.

    As for the accent. Well, I'm an English girl so can't speak for the American girls. But I can tell you that the American guys fall over themselves at my accent. So I'm sure you'll have plenty of luck

    Hallo

    thanks for the reply! when you say id, i dont really want to be walking around with my passport ( i like to lose things once drunk ) haha what other forms of foreign ID do they accept.. do they accept provisional licenses? ( fingers crossed it will be a full license if i pass next month )

    ooo that sounds better ive been abroad last 2 years but gone to places in europe and they didnt celebrate as much as id hope .. do you guys have guiness :P

    is there anything you recommend us checking out.. as much as id love to sit and lounge around for a week i feel it would be a wasted trip if i didnt check a few things out

    is the everglades trip worth it? we also was thinking of going to see miami heat play.

    and haha thanks for the luck

    Mikey,

    You can use you provisional or full license here as proof of ID. Provisional just means it is green not pink, they won't mind at all (Or know the difference.)

    Everywhere that is Irish serves Guiness. You'll find it at Waxys, Finnegans and Clarkes. I don't like or recommend Playwright anymore, up to you if you go there.

    There is so much to do in Miami! You can take our City Tour, and see all of the city, not just South Beach. You can also combine this on the same day as the Everglades Tour, or do it alone, and travel with us out to see the gators and have an airboat ride. It is definitely worth the trip, seeing wildlife you will never see in England.

    Another fun thing to do it the boat tour that goes round all the celebrity homes.
