Florida Keys Vacation
Planning a trip to the Keys this winter and would like to do it without spending the entire 2019 racing budget on accommodations. Just two of us and a rental car for a week.
We would really appreciate some feedback from your experiences - good or bad. Thanks!!

Re: Florida Keys Vacation
Spend everything you have...then get more - that is all.

Re: Florida Keys Vacation
Flying into Key West is expensive.
Unless its a charter. Otherwise fly to Miami, then drive the fore hours to KW. Hyatt Sunset Harbor, great place. |

Re: Florida Keys Vacation
We had planned to fly to Miami or Lauderdale.....would we miss anything of importance if we use KW as our "base" for the week?

Re: Florida Keys Vacation
Like missing the Gators? I think you might want to split your time between KW and some where more central. If you use KW as your base, then because your at the bottom of Fla., you would be putting the miles on to see anything else.

I would recommend staying somewhere on the mainland and perhaps a 1 or 2 night stay down in the Keys if you think that might work. Last edited by 1matcoman; 01-10-2019 at 09:07 PM. |

Re: Florida Keys Vacation
We have decided to move the Keys trip to the opposite end of the calendar when rates are considerably lower....might be able to give the Gators some respect after all.
