Flight
Fort Myers (RSW)
There are a few different options to get to Key West. One is to fly into Fort Myers and take the ferry to Key West. The ferry takes about 4 hours and depending on the travel day it has been said to be worth it. The food is nothing special, the beer is cold and staff is great. Reserve your ticket in advance for a discount. https://www.keywestexpress.net/
Flight
Fort Lauderdale (FLL)
Another option is to fly into Fort Lauderdale International airport and drive down to the keys.
Flight
Miami International Airport (MIA)
If you are planning to do the drive you can fly into Ft. Lauderdale or Miami. The drive is about 4 hours to Key West. If you arrive early enough and want to take your time down, I highly recommend that you stop by the No Name Bar in Big Pine Key along the way!
Travel Note
No Name Pub - Big Pine Key
A hot travel spot on your way through the keys. Before GPS, it was as much of an adventure to find it as much as it is to experience it. Hence the "YOU FOUND IT" on the sign.

Ambrosia House Trop Lodging
Key West, FL 33040 (305) 296-9838
There seems to be more interest in renting a house instead of staying at a bed and breakfast. But if you prefer a B&B, this is one of the local favorites. Please let me know if you intend on staying here. If there is enough interest, I will see if I can get a discount room block.

Travel Note
Bicycle Rentals
Unless you really want to get your steps in on your Garmen or Fit Bit, I highly recommend that you rent a bike. Key West is too small to drive but just far enough that bike is needed. Best part about this place ... they deliver!!!
Travel Note
Conch Electric Car
If you prefer something a little more effortless, an electric car is the way to go. They are easier to park and this company offers free pick up and delivery.
