Brother-in-law doesn't belong to any forum, so I've been delegated to ask you lot.

Niece, 15, not streetwise at all, is off to Florida with the school in March or April (I've forgotten already) and they are staying in Miami.

Any globetrotters out there with any sensible advice regarding places to go, places to keep away from ?

Usual abuse expected amongst the common sense.

The more of the latter the better :)

TIA

Warn her to be on her guard against any old pervs who finger-frot her palm when they're shaking her hand, whether or not they still reckon they look like Rex Harrison.

South Beach is fine - nice area with all the old art deco hotels and bars

Miami Beach is more brash but still OK

No recession in her school for most (school;s in Brentwood) and they have to keep up with the Joneses.
