I have a close relationship with the city since I worked there at WPLG TV
in Miami, and spent years commuting back and forth with my husband
who worked and lived in Miami prior to Hurrican Katrina, which changed our
lives like so many others.
Getting back together with my WPLG colleagues was truly a blast from the past
and the turnout was PACKED! WPLG alumni decended upon Miami from all
over the United States.
It was a wonderful eveving catching up with my fellow journalist!

Liz’s Favorite Travel ideas for a Miami Visit:
What to do:

-Walk the pedestrian mall Lincoln Road and people watch
-Shop till you drop at the Aventura Mall
-Visit one of my favorite Art Galleries on Lincoln Rd. (Britto)

-Go upscale at the outdoor designer mall Shops of Bal Harbour
People often ask me where to eat, so I will share a few favorites:

the food is a fusion of Pan Asian, Caribbean and Latin. Sit at the bar
and you will experience the service of the BEST bartenders in Miami!
