All this talk of bringing sodas on board...

[KarenG]

Well, tacky or not, (and I prefer to think NOT) I would like to bring soda on board. My question is, where in the downtown Miami area (we're staying at the Holiday Inn Bayside) can I purchase my 12 pack? I looked at a website for the Bayside Marketplace, but there didn't seem to be any place there to buy 12 packs. Any advice?

Thanks,
Karen

When I was last in miami there were walgreens everywhere. I would recommend you check walgreens website directly for an address location and do a mapquest from your hotel to walgreens. Very likely only a block or 2.

KarenG,

There is a "Dollar Paradise" store in the Bayside Marketplace. You'll probably find some drinks and last minute items there.

In addition to Walgreens, there are Amoco service stations along Biscayne Blvd. I know one is located at 1000 Biscayne Blvd (couple of blocks away).

Happy Cruisin',
