Another reason I don't like the keys..prices.
I understand its a hassle to have everything delivered down to the very tip of the state for a series of small islands down a 2 lane road. I just don't see the excitement of being on the small islands more than a few hours.
Then again, I've been in Fl my whole life, nothing new to me.
Maybe I'm just grumpy because I havent been riding in a few months? Sorry if I come off that way.

Barbara and I are through with hotel/motels where you have to spray "Old Spice aftershave" around the room before you settle in.
We also learned on a trip back from Virginia that if the hall ways smell like urine....that is the best it is going to get.
We may be thinking about making this trip...(don't know if we will stay at the same place as you all).
Chuck the mensh (I will rent a car and sleep in it)

The last questionable motel I stayed at had a 4 foot round blood stain on hte carpet at the foot of the bed.
All I Know is I'm not going to ride 5 hours to sleep in a dump, alot of nice bed & breakfasts in Key West, also the Pier House is awsome. I'll check out some places and post up.

As long as I have an ocean to bathe in and a tree to pee on I am good to go, either way is fine with me.

But I think you are giving HOG too much credit. It's still a long way from Homestead to Key West.
