Default Making a trip out....

Hello CL of Florida!

I am making a trip out to SoFL in January. I'll be flying this time, but staying for 3 or so days. I just want to get a feel of the city (Miami to be exact) and later on make the 3k mile drive out.

So I have a few questions.

What's the weather like in SoFL mid-January? What should I pack?
Ok.. that's basically all my questions but any places I should avoid? (bad neighborhoods, etc)


Thanks in advance! Hope to meet some of the so called #Lexusboys while i'm out there

Oh shoot. Maybe the 1st lady of #Lexusboys. Bring shorts, jeans and tees and sweaters. The weather here is constantly changing so there is no way to know what to bring for sure......as far as location. I guess if you like downtown style then maybe Miami or Ft.Lauderdale. If you like more laid back suburban type living then I would suggest Coral Springs, Boca, West Palm Beach, Weston just to name a few. We can have a mini meet for you when you come down. We're all love chillin with each other and showing off our cars. I got choreos on deck. Haha

Like everyone else said, the weather is very nice around that time.

The lowest the temperature will go is probably 60 and you would only need a sweater if anything. Youll be fine with jeans and shorts

Stay away from Hialeah

And yes, it could be low to high 60's one week, and high 70s to low 80's the next, so a variety of clothing wouldn't hurt.
