We liked the Keys. Much of the speed limit on the causeway is 35 mph so you need to adjust to the slower pace and that can be a good thing to do. If you stay in Key West, the hotels are expensive but a couple of nights are worth the time that you can spend there. Park the car and walk if you will. Just bum around, eat well, relax and take in the ambience; it’s great fun. We stayed in the Red Rooster Inn.
