Last time I went through Miami, and I live there, the lady stamping my passport didn't speak english. She probably did but, like a few hard headed individuals in Miami, just don't want to. It will take you an hour to clear the airport if you're lucky. 2 and 3 hours is actually common. If you intend to spend the day at the beach you won't go wrong heading to south beach and the taxi ride is a direct shot (~$20). Don't rely on public transport for anything. October is still hot and humid (hurricane season is still winding down) and the buses are only 10 minutes late if you are lucky.
