We are staying at the Hyatt Beach House on a trade mid-March. Adult children are staying at our house at home taking care of the cat so we are first staying in Orlando for a week and working and then driving down to Key West. We are actually driving from MA since my husband uses a scooter, we drive in a van that has a lift, and we get along really well together, even in traffic. (Of course, we avoid traffic for the most part by going the Cuomo bridge and either going through PA, VA or NJ, DE. Never again on 95 the whole way!)
Driving down to the keys on Saturday morning from Orlando.
A few more things:
Key Largo Lodging
Marriott Courtyard, on points (trying for fewer points!) for a Saturday night.
Key Largo Restaurants (checked out on Trip Advisor)
Key Largo Activities
Marathon for lunch on the drive down on Sunday?

What am I missing? Anything on here that shouldn't be?
Driving down to the keys on Saturday morning from Orlando.
A few more things:
- We love joints, as my mom calls them. She is not so fond of them and would prefer lots of upscale places. We like downscale and good food with just a few upscale places. Because of Covid and the fact that she won't have her second shot by this time, she is staying home.
- We like live music, but we don't like LOUD live music. Hubby was sound man for my daughter's band for years and he has had his fill.
