Key West Vacation Villa - Traveling to Key West
The name ‘Key West’ brings to mind pictures of islands surrounded by clear waters, a genuine little town, incredible sunsets and a paradise for nature lovers. Key West can be reached from Miami by car, motorcycle, boat or plane. The distance between Miami and Key West is 150 miles and will take around 3.5 hours to get there by car. If you decide to drive from Miami, you may want to spend a little extra in securing an exotic car rental in Miami, preferably a convertible, to be part of the extraordinary surroundings on this road trip while traveling to Key West. If you have a motorcycle license, rent a Harley Davidson in Miami and start traveling to Key West via US1 from Miami.
The trip, itself, is an extraordinary experience. Take your time and stop in any of the multiple outdoor Tiki bars that pave the way traveling to Key West. Stop to have your lunch and sip a cocktail. For the speediest journey, take a plane from Miami to Key West. A flight from Miami will take a little less than 30 minutes and the cost is affordable.
Another great way to get to Key West is to set aside some money to rent a boat or a yacht in Miami. The journey traveling to Key West is absolutely gorgeous. Be sure to do your homework and study your trip before hand. The Keys can be delicate to sail. Depending on your boat, you will spend between 5 and 12 hours traveling to Key West.
Visitors have several lodging options in Key West. Stay in a hotel, a Bed and Breakfast in Key West or in a Key West vacation villa.

Very rare ghostly white alligators are on display at Gatorland Orlando. Do not mistake these white alligators for the more common pink-eyed albino alligators. These, called leucistic alligators, have steel blue eyes and it is believed that only a dozen of the 5 million alligators in the US are born and live this way. Their pigments are actually a result of a genetic defect but it is said that those who can make eye contact with leucistic alligators can expect good fortune.
The four leucistic alligator brothers will be on display in the White Gator Swap section of Gatorland Orlando through Labor Day. Find nearby, affordable Orlando vacation rentals or Orlando vacation homes.
