Vero Beach, Florida

Posted By: Baigrie Family in General, United States of America    

The drive from Tavernier to Vero Beach was about 3 ½ hours long and between the rain and the terrible drivers we were very glad to arrive at the Sea Spray Inn, a small neat-as-a-pin ma and pa style motel.  We were booked in for two nights so we could break up the journey back to Orlando; another of the many places I chose on a whim after some online research.  It turned out...

Key West, Florida

Posted By: Baigrie Family in General, United States of America    

I have always wanted to go all the way to Key West in Florida; the southernmost part of the USA.  From where we are staying in Tavernier near Key Largo, it is a 2 hour drive to Key West; we thought we’d drive to Key West and back in one day and do it as a day trip.  This worked out perfectly and we really enjoyed the time we were there.  I must admit I was a little bummed...
