Key West bound, Aug 3rd...counting the days. Any current info, construction issues, new sights and places to stay? Traveling companions? Would love some chatter and opinions... Heading south from Mississippi.

Yep, I agree. I went down to Key West the first week of June. If you take Card Sound road make sure and stop at Alabama Jacks just before the toll bridge. A really neat place to stop and have a cold drink!
