Getting TO/AROUND: I began my trip to Key West in Ft.Lauderdale where I was staying with family. I took the Florida Turnpike, which was a very smooth ride because we around 11:00 in the morning. Bring plenty of change because there are 4 toll boothes before you get to U.S. 1 at .75 cents a peice. Once you pick up U.S. 1 in Key Largo you'll probably pick up alot of traffic during the winter because U.S. 1 is only 1 lane each direction in most places. The speed limit is from 35-50 MPH and the Monroe County Sheriff and Florida Highway Patrol are always taking radar. Once we left Key Largo we were treated with the elevated highway. There is water on either side of you and it's a really cool drive.

'Mode': AROUND

Getting TO/AROUND: During my trip to Key West I drove a car, and this was fine until we got into Key West. Our Sebring Convertible was great out on the highway, but in Old Town it wasn't the best way to get around. We had a place to park through our guesthouse but in old town the best way to get around is by walking or scooter. There are several places on Truman near Duval Street to rent scooters at $22-35 or so. I would recommend this. You can't park just anywhere in Key West. The resident only spaces are clearly marked. If you park in one of these you WILL get towed. I saw at leat 4-5 cars being removed around old town.

OMG... How funny is it that I also took a picture of snowy New England on my way to Florida this past March too? It WAS a brutal winter, huh? Oops, just realized that you went LAST winter. Well, it's ALWAYS so damned cold up here! |
