How about night life...here's a sample of the open air clubs that have the overseas, open air vibe:

Miami Ocean Drive Nightlife - Sights and Sounds - YouTube
Time frame would be late Oct/Early November. Not so much clubbing type people. I am a cigar and coffee kind of guy, so thats some of the allure to me.

You may be able to catch a Marlins game, enjoy the zoo. You can go to the beach (Key Biscayne, north Miami Beach, Ft. Lauderdale); John Pennekamp Coral Reef Stat Park in the upper Keys, Everglades National Park.
No parking to spend $25+ on...won't have a car there. Uber and Lyft will be our savior there. Don't mind expensive drinks...we typically only have one or two each when out. I definitely will want to check out Key West, so that may actually be the ultimate destination.

We typically vacation in the Tampa bay/Clearwater/St. Pete area...love the Cuban vibe in Ybor City. That factors into a possible Miami trip.
