Some things to keep in mind if anyone does the trip on your own.
Make motel reservations ahead.
Don't do the trip on a weekend, traffic going south is crazy with party animals.
There's speed traps so watch your speed.
My own summary:
Somehow the advertised arial views of the drive looks greater than the actually drive, all that open water.
Unless there's a bridge, a lot of water view is block by doons and mounds.
Key west is expensive, so bring the plastic.
Once was enough for me.

in the past i've taken mini cruises to bahamas and key west to scratch that itch
