We enjoy the Keys. It was enough like the Caribbean to make it different from the rest of the southern coastlands. I always figured that by now we'd have made a return trip because we had such a great time there. But we just never have gone back. Maybe some day.

That's a long drive, but it's all part of the adventure, right? So long as driving is not all you're doing along the way. :)
We broke up the drive. Left in later afternoon and I drove until I go sleepy (just across the Georgia/Florida border). I pulled into an Interstate rest area and we all climbed into the travel trailer and slept for five or six hours. Then I got up and we drove much farther down the Florida peninsula and stayed at a private campground north of Miami (I hate Miami).
Then got up and drove down to our campsite at Bahia Honda State Park in the Keys. It was a two-week vacation, so the driving wasn't hard on us. Similarly, we broke up the drive back, staying at a very cool state park in the far north of Florida before driving home.
