If you are able to then do go check out Cape Canaveral and any of the other NASA related places/museums. If you can, then I also recommend a drive down to the southernmost Florida Keys. If you go there you can check out Ernest Hemingway's house (now a museum). Pet alligators, exotic animals etc.
EDIT
Oh, duh ... You're just going to Miami ... never mind then :-)

I have planed to rent a car and go to Hemingways house (it's on the top of the list of things to do)... actually I'm not sure I'll actually be in Miami "city", since I'm staying at a house from some friends of my GF... that is suposedly "near" miami...
You should read up on how to rent a car. I remember that it can be a hassle. I think you have to be 25+ to rent a car, if you are a foreigner (I could be horrendously wrong on this though, as the laws may be different depending on the state you are in). If you are older then that's at least one less thing to think about.

Bullocks! That was good advice. Cape Canaveral, Hemingway's and Keys are a must. Miami is not :)
Maybe we'll meet! I'll be the drunk Portuguese with a daiquiri on my hand whistelling old Spectrum tunes on the beach!
