Florida--Palmtree Road Trip
After leaving Miami, you'll head northwest and be quickly engulfed by the sights, sounds, and smells of the Everglades. While in this neck of the swamp, you have to take an airboat tour. Head into the tiny hamlet of Cooperstown and look up Cooperstown Airboat rides. Gliding over the sawgrass and water with the rush of air in your face, you'll experience a unique "hovering" sensation. Once back on Rte. 41, you'll head east a short distance to Rte. 27, and head directly south. You really won't find much entertainment until you reach Homestead. In town, you'll find a wide variety of restaurants and entertainment, including the Homestead-Miami Speedway, which hosts November NASCAR races. Some other attractions include Biscayne National Park, with its mangrove shoreline, crystal clear waters, emerald isles and living coral reefs. You'll want to arrive at Convoy Point (follow signs off U.S. 1), the location of the park's headquarters and the Dante Fascell Visitor Center. Here, visitors can picnic, fish, canoe, explore the Visitor Center, or take one of the glass bottom boat or snorkeling tours offered by the park vendor. On your way to The Keys, you'll take in some fabulous scenery (especially at sunset), and do some island hopping. U.S. 1 is the only highway through the Florida Keys and contains the famous seven-mile bridge. Being completely surrounded by water for as far as you can see (in a car) is definitely an unforgettable experience. Once in Key West, search out the unique older parts that feature authentic cuisine and funky island architecture. The Northwest corner is the place to go to view the sunsets. Don't miss Hemingway's house on Whitehead Street. Starting Point:
