Yellowdog, Thanks for the help. I would like to avoid resort/parking fees and get breakfast. The dates for stay are April 1-8. I might bid Miramar, West Ft Lauderdale Plantation, Aventura, Miami Lakes, North Miami, North Miami Beach. Sawgrass is too far from MIL. By shopping I mean a supermarket, shopping center like Oakwood Plaza. I use the bidding PRICELINE links.
