Need to reserve a convertable to get from Miami to Key West, any suggestions? Has anyone used Royal Rent a Car?

Just booked the flights! Flying in Thursday leaving Monday!! Wooohooo! :D We've never been to Key West for the races were pumped!






We'll need a rental car also, who would you recemend?? It dosn't have to be a Navigator or Hummer it only have to get us to Key West and back to the airport on Monday!

I wouldnt get so excited about the racing part of it. Its the KW parties with all our OSO friends that makes us return every year

i booked my rental thru AVIS when i booked my flight...will be waiting for me at Miami airport when we land at 1:45pm thursday

My first time to the KW was this year during the Miami Boat Show and we had a blast! It will be great meeting more of the OSO group, and I'm surrrrre if the parties are any thing like the FPC/OSO Miami bash the will be ok ;) :D

Berns-

Yea I should have just booked it with the flight, I checked out Hertz web site it's about dead on price wise I’ll end up just doing that.

You’re going to be getting in at a good time! heck our flight lands at 11:30PM we won't get to the house till late, but I'm not complaining! :p

Hehe ... Im pretty pumped about the racing part of it this year ..... that and breakfast :D

The latest from OSO headquarters is that you have to have a permit in Key West to throw a party.

It appears that the permit process has to be done months ahead of time.

I know a permit to throw a party, please.

So, if someone wants to have an "unofficial gathering" some where please let us know.

Personally, I will be hanging around The Conch Republic where the 180 Poker Run Boats will be.

Stop by and see us and we will buy you a drink.

You gotta be kidding me Steve. This legislation coming from the party capitol of the world ?? WTF were they thinking on this one.

Whats the name of the bar we were at last year ?? The one that the Blue owns ?? Is that still around ?? If so, thats where I shall be hanging my hat. I liked it there

The racing has been a disapointment for me over the last few years. I hope they have a much bigger and better turn out than in the past.

where did you wanna have it? this week is fantasy fest ,and is kind of busy, so you might of got the runaround, the city is always a bit greedy, if i can help let me know,but the conch farm/schooner wharf /turtle kraals(who have a tower bar to rent out) is a good corner to have a rolling party.you can never have enough toilets. have you spoken to mark rossi(owns rick's/. durty harry's and is a city commisioner,and was on the conch republic offshore racing committee

I am flying into Ft Lauderdale on Thurs will see my Dad then head down.Hertz has Vettes there got it for half price through United.com

Is there a scooter race this year? :D

Does anyone rent scooters with staggered power? I hear they are faster. :drink:

There will definitely be a few more boats there this year for the races .. definitely. :cool-smiley-027:

Sloppy Joe's is always a great place to hang out. It is too fun calling your friends who are not there & mooning them on the Duval web cam. Not that I would have ever done that.

:(
Sorry. DSL server was down most of the day.
I'l contact everyone Wednesday PM for possible passengers to KW.

BTW. you have a better chance to get on the boat if you got a set of boobs.

(just kidding) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NOT...
:D well a little

:D:p:D

More than glad to go along and will help with gas cost. We appreciate the chance to go. We are both business owners here in Mo. and we are 47 and 36 years old and will enjoy every minute of the experiance. Can return the favor at the Lake of the Ozarks anytime. Was plannig on fishing Thursday out of Lauderdale for shark but we can do that anytime. Let us know so we can make the arrangements. Thanks Danny

That place would be way to crowded for us. I think we had 300 people 2 years ago and maybe more than that 3 years ago. You would need a place that has seperate facilities for the OSO crowd

Will-

Are you hauling the Apache down to KW??
