I take U.S. 27 down to 997 and us that to go in the back way to Homestead and Florida City. Brings you right out on 1 heading down to Key Largo. Spending the night in Key Largo and then hitting the ride down in the morning isa good idea.

Thanks for the infoguy's, Fastharley I will look for your sign on Duval, as for hurricanes it looks right now that it won't be an issue.

RE: Key West Trip
I've visited the Keys since the early '70s. Summer's ugly in the keys, don't ask me how I know. I always visit the Half-Shell Raw Bar and of course Hog's Breath Inn.You can visit Hog's breath anytime by webcam! If you are a first-time visitor, take the touristy Conch Train as it will show you the highlights of the island and then you'll know where you want to hang. There's off-street parking but you can cover most/all of it on foot.Pet the cats and breathe in the literate airof the Hemingway House - it keeps the 7-toedcats fed! Mel Fisher's isworth the price ofadmission if you like treasure hunting. Crawl up and down Duval St. and don't pass on the conch fritters and live oysters. I avoid the waterfront area with the jugglers and such because that was built for the tourists and not you & me. There's too much other local action going on to get bottlenecked over there! Truman's Western White House is also worth a stop if you're flush with time. And you can stay in Marathon for rest and avoid the tourist crunch that can make Key West annoying when you want to turn it off. And you'll be just over the Seven Mile Bridge from the Bahia Honda State Park (btw, no alcohol on FL state parks & beaches). Nice local eateries, Tiki bars and watering holes too along the Marathon-Key West Stretch. Big Pine Key looks pretty tired however compared to years ago, and of course the famous Sid & Roxies Turtle Inn is shuttered and the cannery no longer packs my beloved Green Turtle Soup. Oh well, maybe like a Phoenix it will rise once again.
I promise you that youwill come back again someday, if this is your first time.
