Intend to go round Michigan and somewhere in Florida (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

miami

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in florida' is the definition.
('Miami' is part of 'florida')

'intend to go round michigan' is the wordplay.
'intend' becomes 'aim' (aiming is a kind of intending).
'to go round' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'going round' mean this).
'michigan' becomes 'mi' (abbreviation).
'aim' written backwards gives 'mia'.
'mia'+'mi'='MIAMI'

'and somewhere' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for miami that I've seen before include "Florida resort city, Beach" , "US town" , "Popular city in SE Florida" , "tourist centre" , "Floridian city" .)
