Is Collins Ave open through the spring breakers area?
I cancelled my reservation. Even though there was a seven-day cancel period, the Gale allowed me to cancel yesterday for my reservation tomorrow with no penalty. I think the city is pressuring hotels to allow cancels with no penalty and with Covid Delta wans't charging a fee. I thought about renting a car and driving to FLL but hotels are either sold out or crazy expensive as are rental cars.

The curfew goes in effect at 8 p.m. Thursday to Sunday's through at least mid-April and starts are fifth and I think ends at 18th or 19th and is from ocean to Pennsylvania. There is a bar I like to go to on Washington and they are closing at 8 due to the curfew so I don't think Miami would be that much fun.

It's too bad because I've gone the last weekend of March a few times and have stayed at the Bentley and no college kids were there and I thought Spring break at colleges were over with by then and I don't know how a college kid could afford a miami beach hotel. The Gale would have been 800 a night if I wasnt using points and most college kids don't have hotel points
