It takes a bit to get to highway 1, but when you do, you join it at about mile 128. The drive took longer than anticipated. We were expecting 3 1/2 hours, but given that we were stuck in stop and go traffic (actually more stop than go) until mile 80 on the south end of Isla Morada (south of Key Largo), well, you can imagine the rest.
Dinner tonight was a triumph after a day of travel (which started at 4am). We went to old town to Kelly's Caribbean bar, grill, and brewery. It is housed in the building where the original Pan Am airlines office was situated. (Pan Am started in 1927 with a flight from Key West to Havana). We sat outside in their very large courtyard, surrounded by picturesque houses and very tall trees covered in fairy lights. The beer was fabulous, the food was very good, and the setting was perfect.
Tomorrow's forecast is calling for lots of sunscreen with a chance of bathing suit. Smiles, everyone!
