thanks ya'll for the great responses..we had our 26th anniversary in may and been busy, and just getting around to setting something up with a bunch of friends to have a good time. It was either New Orleans or KW..Since we live only an hour away from NO, KW was the logical choice.

Off topic a little, but what is the drive from MIA like?
Thinking bout takin a road trip down from airport this year.
More specific the drive back on Monday. Traffic? options for flights are 4pm and 6pm.

Do the 6pm flight for sure, give your self 4hrs to get back on monday, most of the times I have been it only takes 3 but you never know. Unless you really feel like a scenic drive, (which is nice), I would just fly into Keywest, you may want to drink on monday, or worse, you may be hung over, and when you add that drive and then a flight back home, you will be one whipped puppy for work on tuesday. If the drive itself is a highight to your trip, then it can be worth it, but factor it all in, Key West is a great time.

If you can find a flight into Lauderdale you're better off. Less congestion and chances are you'll have a better experience than at MIA.
The Greyhound of the skies (Southwest) flies there so tickets are more reasonable if you've got bags.

If you make the drive, gotta make the drive down fun...lots of places to stop. We try to do a couple of different stops along the way. Last year we stopped at Alabama Jacks for lunch and stopped for a few beers and pizza to go at No Name Pub. I always enjoy the ride down...the ride back? Not so much. Never left on that following Monday, always leave at least 2-3 days to recover by the pool before I make the trip back home!
