I have forgotten who we used, but we have friends that would like to do this trip, and we would like to do it again. If anyone knows of the entity doing this type of trip, please let me know. i have not found it listed in the travel section of the local paper and the company that I thought we used does not do this trip.
You mentioned you've tried the local paper Sunday travel section. Probably, also those who advertise in the Villages neighbors magazine. I do remember when the local group called senior adventures did that trip. We wanted to go but the date didn't work out for us. However, a year or two later we planned the trip on our own for when our adult children were here to visit. We drove to Ft. Meyers (from south Fl originally so we have family in the area where we could leave our car) and took the Key West Express. I understand from their website they now also offer departures from Marco Island. Just a thought, call the number on their website ( 239-463-5733) and ask; Do you have any groups from the Villages who have reserved dates ? If not, maybe organize a group yourself ! ? When we took "the kids", it was such a nice trip. Their website also has an email link under "contact us", in case you don't want to call.
