      There are still ways to travel. They have busses and stuff that are handicap accessible. Some of the drivers are very friendly as well and helpful. It would be difficult to travel, but you could certainly do it if you want. Don't let anything stop you from doing something you're passionate about. The world is getting better and they're starting to design things for minority groups of people as well as the majority. And that's important. But this is certainly the next best thing. Keep on trucking ma'am and I hope you enjoy life, whatever it is you decide. And thanks for sharing!

      The buildings and houses are much different, and the roads and sidewalks are much spacious, traffic lights hanging over the road rather than simple poles like we have here. The parking spots are wide, shops and stores are so diverse and abundant. The trees and bushes have different shapes. Everything seems a lot bigger. Hey, even the sky looks different! America gives me this feeling of awe and coziness.

    This brings back memories of 15 years ago when I was there with a friend. Our vacation started from London Heathrow. We landed in Miami and spent 6 hours at Miami Beach & the Art Deco District before then flying out to Lima Peru. We spend 2 weeks traveling around Peru before flying back to Miami, after being caught up in the 8.0 earthquake of 2007.
    When we got back to Miami from Lima we rented a Mustang GT & drove to Key West. The sun was starting to set about half way through the journey to Key West, & I remember the radio station we were listening to as we were driving down only seemed to play British music from the 60’s. Later we spent 4 days driving around Florida before flying back to London.

      I'm a 5th. Generation Conch and we are an island of Dog lovers. Many of the business leave out water bowls for the Pups who are visiting our island with their families. If you make it down Again they have opened up Truman Waterfront park on the old Submarine base by Fort Zachary Taylor . The waterfront is all free lots of grass and even a nice new Dog park complete with obstacles for the pups to play on. A great quiet Place to watch sunset with your Pups. Mallory Square is fun but a bit noisy and crowded. They have a free water park for little kids at Truman Waterfront too. There are restrooms and water fountains for People and Pups but no food vendor's so bring a snack. My border Collies love their evening sunset walks there and the Puppy pals they meet on their walks. It's a great place with lots of room and shade if your furry family members are vacationing with you.

      The Miami to Key West route was first built as a railroad. When a hurricane damaged a bunch of the bridges(in 1930s I think), then the state or locals down there(I forget what it was) all decided to convert the railroad tracks into a road. Some of the old railroad bridges still exist to this day, and certain ones were converted into piers for local fisherman to use. Plus anyone who wants to walk on them leisurely.
      Over time in the mid 20th century, a bunch of portions of the Overseas Highway had replacement bridges built. Such as where Seven Mile Bridge is located. The original bridges between islands for this highway, used the original railroad bridges that were converted into being a road.

    I took a bus from Miami to Key West to see a high school friend interviewing for a job on the island in 1979. Thankfully, I don't remember the trip being long. She lived on Marathon so the trip wasn't too long for her. It's great seeing this route decades later. My memories of Key West were seeing the sunset with a crowd of others, seeing a play on Green Street, seeing the world's biggest bug in a spider's web on the bench I was sitting, a Woody Allen film retrospective and the Conch Train full of tourists.

      I grew up in the suburbs of Philly and we were maybe 10 minute walk from Baltimore Pike which is part of that whole Route 1 going all through Philadelphia , the suburbs , down to Kennett Square and the mushroom capital of the world haha and basically I-95 parallels it ... it was the original I-95 , basically .
      I didn't watch this but I scrolled all the way to the end and give it a thumbs up anyway .
      I usually do that for the channels I like even if I don't have time to watch their videos

    Greetings from Germany! I used to live in southern Florida for more than a year, back in 1989/1990. I'm amazed how little has changed since then - well I guess a lot has changed, but from the car it all looks the same.
    I've been back in Florida two or three times on vacation, but the last time is already more than 20 years ago. I'll really need to go back there for a visit - even after all these years it feels a bit like home.
    Anyway, thanks for the great video! (Haven't watched it completely yet - currently at Islamorada - but I will)

      Hi Thomas.. ich hab hier dreimal versucht einen Kommentar zu hinterlassen und jedes mal wird er gelöscht weil ich eine Stadt benenne die das genaue Gegenteil von allem widerspiegelt, ich hätte nicht gedacht das man auf YT die Wahrheit sowas von ausblendet und ich werde auf die Umstände nicht mehr näher eingehen weil das sicher auch wieder gelöscht wird.. Die Armselige Seite der US darf hier noch nicht mal ansatzweise belichtet werden.. soviel steht fest.

      Was talking to a German tourist at Disneyworld Orlando; she seemed to be most impressed by the size and scale of things here in the US (probably the park itself, which is apparently much larger than anything found in Germany).

    It's been over forty years since I took a long drive. This was really relaxing. My last drive wasn't, I towed a 20 ft caravan from Adelaide to Brisbane, about two thousand km, or 1200 m. Hot and dry. Watching this at my desk was a lot more fun.

    From 53 minutes to 1h48m was my daily drive for the 3 years I worked on the Netflix series Bloodline. 80% of what we filmed was in Islamorada, 10% in Key Largo, and 10% in Homestead/Miami. But I did this drive every day six days a week... Miss it.

    The Gulf is on the right side and Atlantic ton the left going down to Key West. The remains of the Flager railway bridge to the lower keys, built in early 1900's should be seen on your left out in the water I think. A beautiful scenic drive.

    The sounds of this video are so soothing, I really felt like I was sitting shotgun on a calm road trip. I have insomnia and after about twenty minutes into this video, I was sleeping like a baby. Most people wouldn't really want their viewers to sleep through their videos, but I couldn't have asked for anymore more 🙏
