    This is a good list.

    We've also done the bus tour and it's good but takes up about half a day all told.

    Where will your trip be STARTING from ??

    This is NOT generally considered a good "day trip" destination unless you live south of Orlando already or can fly in.
  • Take the bus tour or is it a trolley tour; I forget but they hit the high spots. Don't try to drive around Key West.

    The December, 2015 issue of Trailer Life has an article about an RVing couple taking a five day trip along the Keys and discussed what to see/do in Key Largo (Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the adjacent Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. In Marathon Key I could taste the lobster Rueben sandwich at Keys Fisheries where they are so popular that they keep track of how many they sell ala McDonalds; 238,000 at the time of the article.
  • You know its about a 3 hour drive each way from the south end of Miami?
