Default Keys

Hey guys, y'all gave me some great advice about the keys last year. We are flying into Ft Lauderdale and are renting a convertible this time since MoCo turned rental over to Eaglerider and nearly doubled the price. My question is what would be the best route out of airport to Krome Ave? will be taking route we took last year Krome to Card Sound road. Will be doing this in early Oct. would like to avoid tolls if possible. Thanks for the help now and before.

I went to Google maps and got this


The gas station at Krome and 41 has great Cuban Coffee, and the Mikosukee Casino has an excellent buffet. There is a pharmacy in Homestead with an old fashioned lunch counter.

Thanks for the info, I have looked at google maps and was looking for a "back" road without tolls and less traffic. We are coming into Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood airport.

back roads from Ft Laud to anywhere in S Fl are all slow with lots of traffic lights. Get yourself out of Dodge quick, there's nothing to see really. All the roads run in straight lines, take some if you want to, you can use Google maps as you're driving but you will mostly be sitting in traffic. I guess just redirect yourselves when you've had enough.

Take Florida's Turnpike (not a back road and it certainly has tolls!) then get to Florida City, bang a left at the Last Chance Saloon, take card Sound Road to the end then make a right and take that to Route 1; you'll like it as the keys are beautiful and have many cool places to stop.
