Miami traffic is insane!!! We took a slow pace and took pics along the way,but most of the pics were while riding.We took card sound rd. and stopped for lunch just before going through the toles on the right.Great food and people.Having a brain fart about the name but you can't miss it.Plan on all day to get there but it's worth every minute.

We trailered our bikes to Islemorado then rode down to KW. Next time we are considering flying into Miami and renting bikes for the ride down to the keys. No problem making the ride in one day.

Alabama Jacks is the place just before the toll on Card Sound Rd.

In season ( which February is) I don't think there are too many deals on rooms. I stay at the KOA campground on Sugarloaf key which is about 20 miles from Key West. Even Camping is about $100 a night for my truck camper. I can't wait to get back there this year. I'm from the cold Northeast, so it's a real treat to be riding in a tee shirt at 11 at night in early March. You'll love it.

It'll all depend on your route and your stops, but I'd figure on it taking most of the day. I'm 300 miles from Key West and with limited stops the last time from Key West to my house took 6 hrs.
