what about the hotels?

the dorchester is pretty high end -- it's on 18th & collins right near the Delano, so that's a pretty good location, the days inn is on 23nrd and technically in miami beach not south beach.....

is price an issue? ideally you want to be as close to the action as possible so the further south the better, is what I say.

Original Picasso Sells on Costco Web Site

Thu Jan 20,10:40 PM ET

By DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP, Associated Press Writer

SEATTLE - Costco shoppers were offered an online deal this month — an original Picasso.

The crayon-on-paper drawing of a face signed and dated by Pablo Picasso was listed for $39,999.99 on the retailer's Web site Jan. 12. It sold Wednesday, said Jim Sinegal, Costco's chief executive, who would not identify the buyer.

The Issaquah-based discount retailing giant may be better known for bulk chicken and cases of soda, but the Costco.com site features an eclectic mix of items, from caskets to computers to sports equipment.

Art dealer Jim Tutwiler, who sold the Picasso, has been selling art through Costco for the past decade. He said Costco's markup is one-tenth that of traditional galleries.

Tutwiler described the drawing as a "doodle" on the blank side of a book jacket. Picasso probably traded it for a new suit or a boat or some service, he said.

"He was a barterer. He hated to spend money," Tutwiler said.

The work was signed and dated Nov. 29, 1970. Picasso's daughter, Maya, authenticated it through a handwritten and signed declaration, which was further verified by the International Society of Appraisers.

This was the second Picasso Tutwiler has sold through Costco. The first sold for in November to a customer in San Francisco.

That buyer passed on this piece, Tutwiler said. "His wife said it was too similar to the other one."
