Q. I am shipping from DC to Los Angeles. Does anyone have any suggestions on reliable and cheap airlines?
A. There are airline that only do cargo...You can find them on you yellow pager. They can give you a container for you to fill out at a set price.
I moved from Miami, Fl. to Charleston SC ( 600 milles) and I used Airtran.
they charged me 1,100 dollars to moved all my two bedroom apartment...It was cheaper than driving a truck .

Miami, FL:
Satisfy Your Vices
What's not to love about America's Riviera? At any given hour you'll see bronzed, chiseled bods strutting down shimmering beaches and streets awash in Art Deco style.
Place we love, even if it's touristy: Cruise the "Deco District," a 10-block span along Ocean Drive from Fifth to 14th Streets, that’s home to more than 800 buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The real deal: Make like a local and sip amazingly potent cafe con leches and smoke aromatic, hand-rolled cigars on Calle Ocho in the heart of Little Havana.
Local flavor: Miami's Floribbean fusion cuisine is a blend of flavors from the south and the tropics. Experiment with sides like lobster mashed potatoes at Astor Place.
Dress code: You might think it's clothing optional, but it's really about baring your best in the scantiest threads, so tighten up and suck in where you can!
Where to blow a paycheck: From Barney's to local boutiques like The Pink Palm, Lincoln Road is considered the Fifth Avenue of the South. If you still have cash, or credit, check out Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue.
Twenty-four hour party people: Sundays at Nikki Beach Club is where to go to see and be seen. Other notable clubs on any night are Shore Club, B.E.D., Tantra, and crobar.
You've got game: Take in a game of Jai Alai, a local past time and the world's fastest ball game. It's part lacrosse, part handball, and you can see it at Miami Jai Alai or Dania Jai-Alai, near Fort Lauderdale.
Chill-out spot: Pretend to read Le Monde as you scout out models and celebs, or just kick back and blatantly gawk at the scene in front of News Cafe on Ocean.
Recommendations & Suggestions:
320
320 Lincoln Road
Phone: 350.531.2800
Former 1990s hotspot Bar Room has been transformed into the most luxe and celeb-packed club of the new millenium. Find a seat near the staircase to the VIP lounge to ogle the jet-set, or snuggle in one of the numerous balconies and nooks. 320 serves a limited menu and the door policy is typical of Miami's hot spots: dress to impress.
B.E.D.
929 Washington Avenue
Phone: 305.532.9070
Drinks in Bed, anyone? Beverage, Entertainment and Dining, that is. In this eatery and club, SoBe's hottest crowd bed-hops while being served by a p.j.-clad wait-staff. This South Beach club-of-the-moment could double as a harem with its exotic and lavish bedroom decor. Take a seat or slip under the covers of one of the made up beds, and who knows who might join you for a drink.
Blue Door at the Delano
1685 Collins Ave. (at 17th St.)
Located in the super-chic Delano Hotel, the Phillipe Starck-designed Blue Door envelops Claude Troisgros' exquisite nouveau French cuisine with floor to ceiling curtains and the flicker of candlelight. Blue Door stays open late and attracts a beautiful crowd (as does most of Miami) to its terrace, offering visual feasts to go along with pleasing entrees like roasted duck with passion fruit and apple puree.
Club Deep
621 Washington Avenue
Phone: 305.532.1509
If you're longing for those plastic-cup, keg-doused college days, then head to Club Deep, where the jet-set don't go, and the bouncer doesn't care what you look like. The kind of place where nobody knows your name and every night is ladies' night. Lose your inhibitions, forget trying to be cool, and dance like you would in your living room to popular hits from the '70s and '80s. Drinks are cheap and specials last until midnight.
Goddess
681 Washington Avenue (between 6th and 7th)
Phone: 305.534.7614
This enchanting club is the jewel in every hipster's crown--anyone who's anyone has danced a night away in the Kama Sutra themed lounge. Buddhas, silk-covered lighting and a harem-like setting exist to seduce the senses while trendsetters seduce each other. Don your best (and tiniest) Eastern inspired outfit and don't fret too much about how much you'll spend--Goddess is friendlier on the wallet than one would expect in flashy South Beach.
Nikki Beach Club
1 Ocean Drive
Phone: 305.538.1111
Swing into St. Tropez at this high-end beachfront club, where Ferraris fill the valet in front of the sea, and famous models have been known to break into impromptu table dances. Yes, there are other hard-to-get-into clubs in South Beach, and there are certainly glamorous people all over this strip, but few clubs have as much class as Nikki. Not to be missed are the Sunday beach parties (yes, during daylight), if you can work your way past the bouncers.
Rain
323 23rd Street
Phone: 305.674.7447
The local, nocturnal, jet-set crowd can now forget about the loss of Groove Jet. Housed in this former space is one of the most popular hip-hop clubs to hit the SoBe scene in recent years. In contrast to the usual over-the-top South Beach clubs, Rain's approach is one of minimalism and paired-down elegance. Lounge on a modernist leather sofa, or dance underneath the stars on the open-air dance-floor. Also in contrast to neighboring clubs, the wait staff at Rain offers service with a smile.
Smith & Wollensky
1 Washington Avenue South Pointe Park
Phone: 305.673.2800
The magnificent waterfront location of this award-winning steakhouse offers unparalleled vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the downtown Miami skyline and an endless parade of ships through the Government Cut shipping channel, located just a few yards outside the restaurant's oversized picture windows. Paying homage to the original New York institution, Smith & Wollensky is a "steakhouse to end all arguments" and is one of the few steakhouses that still dry-ages its steaks on the premises and does its own butchering. This landmark restaurant is known for serving generous portions of high quality food and is famous for their extensive wine list which highlights Bordeauxs and California Cabernets.

I'm thinking of moving to Miami. I'd like to hear from others that have moved there.?
Q. I'm thinking of maybe moving to Miami. I currently live in chicago, and I'm sort of itching to get out and try something different. Im a 26 yo, single male. I have been to Miami before, and I really liked it, mainly for its lush tropical landscape and the different culture. I'm curious to hear from other people that have moved there if they were happy moving there, or if they came to regret their decision (and why)
I'm curious to hear from other people that have moved there (especially from very different places like chicago). Did it take you a while to adjust to living there? What it what you had hoped it would be? Are people friendly? Overall, do you feel safe in Miami? I've heard there are some bad areas of the city, but it Miami cant possibly be more crime ridden than chicago is.
Also, what it the cost of living like? Right now, I pay 1700 for a 1 bedroom in chicago, but I would like to find a nice apartment in a safe area in miami for around 1200 a month. What areas would you recommend living in? Is 1200 a reasonable amount to expect to pay in rent? I am a fairly quiet person, and while I enjoy Miami beach for its beauty, I wouldnt want to live near that craziness.
Any input from Miami locals would be appreaciated! Thanks!

A. I've lived here in the Miami area for two years and have mixed feelings. I should point out that back in the mid-90s I also spent 2 years living in Orlando, so this isn't my first rodeo in the Sunshine State.
I think my biggest gripe about Florida is the job market; it's not diversified enough (retail and services), the wages are too low, and finding jobs is too difficult. I know that people would say that the job market is bad everywhere, but Florida has a couple of things that set it apart. Just like with California, the population here grows too damn fast and job growth just isn't able to keep up. Every week you have people moving into the state (either folks from up north looking to live in a warmer climate, or Cubans and other immigrants drifting in with the tides). Obviously when those people arrive, one of the first things they do is look for work. There just aren't enough new jobs created for all the waves of people that keep moving into the state, and that's a big problem.
The cost of living is high, yes (as you already seem to know) and I accept this living in a state with such fast population growth, but what drives me crazy is that the wages don't keep pace. I had this exact same problem when I lived in Orlando back in '95. At that time the only jobs I could find paid barely above minimum wage.
