Flew there from Texas for a wedding years back. My first big trip after my ppl. If I'd had an RV I wouldn't have had to sleep in Cross City coming and going. Did you fly across the bay or follow the islands as soon as you got south of Homestead airspace?

Flew across the bay Mark. It was a beautiful day and I was a 7.5K ft. Seeing the Everglades through the tip of Florida at Flamingo was wonderful. Took me 1.5hrs to go from Sanford to Marathon, 250 miles. Did have a nice tailwind
 
Yeah that view is one of the reasons I did it. Seeing the Keys from the air after flying over the Glades was very cool. Takes too long to get to 7.5k in a "heavily loaded" 150 so we flew down US1 and took a close look.
