My 6-Week Solo RV Adventure Through the Florida Keys: What I Wish I'd Known Before Going

The Florida Keys are the trip of a lifetime, but nobody tells you what it's really like to RV there for an extended period of time, ... in the summer. Just seven hours south of Orlando, but it feels like you've driven to another planet. I mean, when you're cruising down the Overseas Highway with the Atlantic Ocean on your left and the Gulf of Mexico on your right, pinching yourself because you’re finally really there. And when you finally get to Key West? You're only 90 miles from Cuba. Let that sink in. There are over 60 keys stretching 160 miles, and most of them you can only reach by boat. But the ones you can drive to? Pure magic. I was lucky enough to spend six whole weeks exploring every corner I could reach in my RV. Could you do it faster? Sure, a week would hit the highlights. But trust me, you'll want more time once you get there.
