I, too, won a trip to Miami about 3 years ago. We stayed in South Beach but went out to the Parrott Jungle and the Seaquarium. I'm 50 years old and I found both of them to be a great way to spend a couple of hours. We just had to go to Little Havana and try a Cuban restaurant, Versailles, I think. Very good. Don't worry about a language barrier even in Little Havana.
