driving to miami and keywest

[den9]

taking a drive to miami and possibly keywest. need some suggestions and what to see and what stuff would be worth pulling over for to see. the only thing i know of is south of the border to get fireworks.

any tips about going to miami/key west like what to see and what to skip (restraunts. hotels, activities)

Bottom of the ocean. Drive there. Don't get out.

What? Possibly Key West? That's like a 4 hour difference in drive time.

Cereal though, don't know if you give a **** but Key West looks gorgeous at sunset.

I'd say if you go to Key West, go to the Southernmost Point of the Continental US. Key West Shipwreck Historeum.. Key West Aquarium.. Dry Tortugas National Park.. Otherwise there's really not a whole lot to Key West other than the nightlife.

the 3 1/2 hour extra is the maybe factor, but i figure if im down there why not, i want to go snorkeling in the clear ocean. does any1 know how the water is compared to miami? that state park sounds cool ill have to check it out

i have no interest in oval tracks, im hoping to go by sometime in july, found some cheap places on hotels.com, me and a friend are going.

half the trip is the drive for me, i always wanted to drive somewhere far, and i can do this trip on 72 gallons of diesel if i can get 40 mpg. about 180 bucks

thinking about covering my entire car in painters tape, were looking for a radar detector, were gonna get a cb radio, and we have 120 "dirivng" songs sound track

haha looks like u got the same prep we got lol. we got 8 people going. 2 flying and meeting us there and 6 of us driving (3 in each car)
already got the music and radar detector.
what car are you taking?

[cmr076]

south of the border! i took 95 the entire way when i went (if you have a radar detector make sure to either keep it hiddden in VA or unplugged and DO NOT get pulled over there. miami is SICK but there are some really ghetto parts (like every big city i suppose). It really depends what your into, key west is laid back and a lot of fun with a ton of cool **** to see, miami is non-stop whatever your doin. Wellington is fun with a TON of hot rich girls (although this isnt the season to go there) , boca sucks (all old people)

i.m.o: i recommend buying fireworks anywhere but south of the border. nice to stop and look at but i wouldn't buy fireworks there. better stores in n.c and s.c. i know this doesnt help with your places to stop at =) sorry lol

but i would def go to south beach!! it's awesome.

[Honduh]

do firework stores card you down there like they do in nj?

[den9]

i dont think so because i heard of alot of people getting them. do they sell "m80's"? im not trying to buy those big ass fireworks that cost 25 bucks a pop. im taking a 04 tdi jetta, the seats are so uncomfortable. im afraid of breaking down going to key west, its insane that its 3 1/2 hours from miami.

[03wrx girl]

no. some do card you to see how old you are. but down south, they dont. i think it's only p.a

Yeah not to mention you get stuck on that bridge and you are **** outta luck.

[den9]

nah im sure they have someone who can tow me, if not ill just relocate and live on one of those islands for the rest of my life.

now i know why people hire travel agents, probably spent atleast 8 hours planning this and looking up hotels prices dates location etc etc. staying in miami for 3 days right off the beach and going to key west for 2 days right off the beach also. got awesome deals since its off season, it came out to around 700 and im splitting it with another person. anyone want to rent out their radar detector?
