My husband and traveled on our motorcycle to key west and stayed at the best western ambasador with a ocean view. Be prepared for the night life, it gets pretty wild. The keylime pie is awesome. We rode back to Ft. Lauderdale to catch our cruise ship, that went back to key west where we were married. We took a peddycab around town. A must do, they stop and let you take pictures and tell you all the history of the town. We plan to go back every 5yrs to renew our vows barefoot on the beach. Enjoy your trip.

Might I suggest our family owned and operated airboat attraction, Sawgrass Recreation Park for while you are in Ft. Lauderdale! We are only 20-30 minutes from the city and we offer thrilling airboat rides over the sawgrass and the cattails of the Florida Everglades. You have the chance to hold a baby alligator and even see a Florida Panther in our exhibit areas that feature over 65 live and beautiful reptiles and mammals. The best part… it only costs about $20.00 per adult and $10.00 per child and we have coupons on our website even for the best frugal shopper!! http://www.evergladestours.com.

No matter your airboat decision, we certainly hope you enjoy your stay here in Ft. Lauderdale and your winter vacation! We hope to see you soon!

Key West is a blast. I spent two days down there in March. Instead of watching the sunset from Mallory Square (where the festival is), we watched it from Ft. Zachary Taylor beach. There were hardly any people there and we got our own little bench to sit on.

I also love the gift shop on Duval St. called Glass Reunions. Super expensive, but the stuff is gorgeous.

@sense - manatees, now that sounds like an interesting idea

@charlieg - thanks for the advice

@the drc family - thanks for the heads up on coupons

@dawn - we will definitely check out the sunset celebration. I'll keep my eye out for lime margaritas!
