The drive up A1A, on the other hand, is enjoyable most of the way to beautiful Amelia Island. There are great places to stay on the Atlantic Coast. disney cruise line jobs I suggest you explore beach and water activities north of Miami.
To begin, a hotel recommendation in Miami Beach: Try the SoBeYou B B in South Beach. It's on a quiet street about 4 blocks from the beach and close to the center of the action. You could stay there without a car and still have access to lots of good restaurants and clubs in SB. You'll have to figure out the transportation from the airport to the hotel. (I understood you to say you're staying only one night in Miami?)
disney cruise line jobs After your stay there, you can rent the car to head to Key West. As one poster mentioned, it's kind of a boring drive, but really not that bad from Miami. I like Key West. The pain is in driving back from Key West to Orlando, IMHO.
We will be arriving in Miami around 3pm on a Wednesday and we are staying 12 nights. We only want to stay in Miami for 1 night at the most. As long as we can spend some time on a beach before the lack of large beaches in the Keys. I was recommended to take a shuttle to the hotel and then rent the car the next day. This could change.
We drove from Tampa to Key West and then back up to Orlando. I loved the drive down the Keys, thought it was fascinating to have ocean on both sides of the car! The Gulf side was also nice but a bit full of ostentatious housing estates for my liking.
Loved Key Largo and would have liked to have more days there, likewise Islamorada. Key West was interesting and well worth the trek down but had so many hawkers.I got a bit sick of everyone wanting my money.
Have you been to the Everglades? If not then I would definitely suggest a night in Homestead so you can check out the gators (and visit Robert is Here fruit stand for the best milkshakes in the entire world!).
On the way back up to Orlando we stayed disney cruise line jobs in Melbourne and visited disney cruise line jobs Cape Canaveral. It was a real highlight. We also went out to the beach directly opposite Patrick Airforce disney cruise line jobs Base. It was lovely and pretty much deserted at sunset.
Be sure to have some water and snacks in the car. We were in Islamarado one time, and friends in our group drove to Key West for the day. There was a bad accident and they were held up on the road for 4 hours in a traffic jam!!
Taking a hotel shuttle for one night in Miami, then the next day taking a taxi to go to a rental car place and then heading through the traffic just doesn't seem like a good way to start the vacation. Too much "logistics". And would you really save that much when all finished compared to just getting your car at the airport and going?
I was really disney cruise line jobs suggesting Priceline for the first night in Key Largo as I had also suggested that a number of times. But they are renting in one place and returning another--I think you can punch that button, but not sure.
