Any readers from or familiar with the Miami area? I need to change my flight pronto, and I'm trying to figure out if it's reasonably doable to fly into Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International airport and mad dash it to Miami. Is there any sort of shuttle running between the two, or would I need to rent a car?
While I'm ostensibly flying down for this thing, it's currently 35 degrees outside in the District, and my cold-blooded reptilian nature demands a warmer climate.
UPDATE: Mos def, if you have tips about what's to be seen at Basel, send 'em. I have a rough outline of the booths I'll be seeking out, no idea when I'll be where, and vague apprehensions about my lack of accommodations. And I plan to try out the new drink sensation called "the mojito"!

Posted by: SuperShuttle at November 18, 2005 2:43 PMHey, that's very reasonable. I'm going to save a lot of money this way.
Thanks, Geico!

Lauderdale Airport) to Miami, but I don't know if you'll be on time to wherever you're headed if you are really in a "mad dash." It's about a 30 to 45 minute drive, and traffic backs up badly on I-95. The traffic is worse going south, i.e., into Miami, in the mornings and going north, i.e., toward Ft. Lauderdale, in the evenings.

Posted by: Jill at November 20, 2005 4:31 AMat the previous two fairs, my favorite events by far were those at which mojitos were served. mostly these events were non-art-related. however, i recommend nada for art. it's far more interesting than basel.
