I have to say everyone with the previous posts, are all right!!!!!!!!
It is a beautiful drive, stop for lunch in Islamorada on the way down, but such a long drive home. Flying is the way to go, but if you dont have a flight by now, good luck!!! Either way everybody have fun and be safe....

Bernie, don't go to Newark. Catch the early flight on Spirit out of A/C to Ft Lauderdale, then get the puddle jumper to KW. It's a hassle free experience compared to going to Newark.

Have you tried the hi speed catamaran out of Ft Meyers?

I went with a group of people early summer. I culd not leave when they did so I flew from Tampa. I beat them there by far and was able to get hammered without worrying about dui.

I drove back with the group and after 4 days of partying, it's a lonnnnng ride. I vote fly.

Not a bad option. A/C to Ft Meyers then to www.keywestshuttle.com.

Where does it dock? It might leave you off 10 feet from where you'll want to be. Otherwise, from the airport, take a taxi to Roosevelt Ave and rent a scooter. Parking is tough and expensive near the docks and Duval St.

That is the only way to do it :D

Bern, We always fly into Ft.Lauderdale or Miami then drive down to KW. Once you hit the Keys the scenery is great!! Stop in Key Largo at a place called the Fish House......great food!! It will be on your left and right on the road. Looks like a shack but it has some awesome seafood. It took us 3.5 hours to get to Islamorada a few years ago and KW is another 1.5 hours WATCH YOUR SPEED!!! :D See you there!!! :drink:

We also leave on monday morning and fly out of Ft. Lauderdale at 3pm!!
