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!
Hello from Germany ,i am 77 years old and been a few times in the wonderful Key West in my younger years , i watched your Trip the whole Afternoon and Tears run down my Face , it is a great gift to be young and healthy , but today i dream about the Past and thank you so much to make me happy , thank you ❤ i learning my english from US Soldiers stationed in my City of Mainz for years
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.
grew up in Miami. Moved far away almost 15 years ago. It's so great to see my stomping grounds in such high quality, so much has changed but still feels like home when I see it. Thank you for sharing.
Never been to Miami nor Key West. It’s on my bucket list to visit Key West. Nice drive from Miami 😊. Thanks for taking us on the ride . Nice views and it’s beautiful there
Nostalgia trip for me . Done that trip several times . Used to drive that entire route in the 60’s and 70’s. Homestead area got wiped out by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. All of that area south of Miami was agriculture back then .
I was born in 61 and my dad was in the navy so we went from Charleston SCa to Key West and I wish we had never left. That’s what I hope heaven looks like✌️🙏
Now this is what I call content! Chill drive, uncut. You get to see how America looks like, which especially for me as a Scandinavian is truly Amazing. Everything is so much different from my country. I love these types of videos, thank you for sharing this drive with us all! You're an amazing guide as well! Also, I cannot believe how many gas stations there is in such a small distance between each of them. I lost count on how many I've seen during the drive. The amount of gas stations in this video is probably more than my whole country! That is insane!
As an American I'm curious to know what you find so different between your country and mine based on what you see from this video. I've never been to Europe so I don't have much perspective.
@@TheJaminator128 Almost everything is different from my country. 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. I would be blown away walking around in America, seeing all of these beautiful things with my own eyes. People would think I'm a crazy tourist!
I traveled in 1997 a part of my big bus round trip (Florida/Georgia/Alabama) by "Greyhound"-bus service from Miami to Key West and return. It was one of many interesting and amazing trips in my live.
My wife and I stayed at Looe Key Reef Resort at 2:53:36 in April, 2022. We drove to Key West at 6am and got some pics by the obelisk early and nobody was up! Drove back to Miami Beach for lunch. Had a great time down there and it's easy to see why people visit there and never leave! Thanks for posting this.
This drive is incredible. Miami looks amazing. The whole drive looks beautiful. Truth is I have never visited Florida and don't know much about that state. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
It's a matter of perspective I absolutely love florida I lived there for a year and am hoping to move back but to me the beautiful weather and sunsets never got old I'd definitely recommend a visit to see for yourself though
hell no, the weather is awesome in florida - as a man who migrated tot north america, I want to be in south florida I miss the extreme heat in my old location @@quann06
Thanks for the ride; I really enjoyed it. It was my first time traveling from Miami to Key West. My head kept falling backward and to the side; but the whole entire video was interesting enough for me to stay awake. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!
I’m from Naples so south Florida will always have a special place in my heart. I love this video. It brings back memories of going to Homestead and the Florida Keys.
I’ve done this exact drive at the end of 2020. Absolutely stunning views of the Florida Keys when crossing the bridges going down Route 1, with of course the city of Key West being an absolute marvel. I need to visit Key West again. South Florida is truly gorgeous, I sometimes can’t believe its actually still in the US lol 😍
This brought back good memories!!!! ☺️ Family drove this same drive a few years ago!!!!! 👍 We stopped at Sombrero Beach!!!!! 🌴🏖️ It was beautiful!!!!! 💕 Our doggie loved it!!!!!!! 🐾🐶 Then went on to Key West!!!!!! Saw Hemingway's House!!!! 🏡 Of course we went to Southern Most Point in the Continental US!!!! 👍 Have also been to Southern Point in Hawaii!!!!! 🌴⛱️☀️🌋 It was so wild to see chickens just roaming around wherever they wanted!!!!! 🐓 ☺️ Drove the doggie crazy!!!!!! 🤪 We ate at Island Dogs Bar!!!!! They let us bring doggie in with us!!!!!! He was in his stroller so just rolled him right up to table!!!! They were great with him!!!!! 🐾🐶💙 Then went to Mallory Square!!!!! All kinds of entertainment!!!!!! ☺️ It was a beautiful day and the sunset that night was gorgeous!!!!!!! 🌅 Then as we were leaving stopped at Kemit's Key Lime Shop!!!!! 🤗 So many things to choose from!!!!!! Went with of course the Key Lime Pie!!!!! 💚 It was a wonderful day!!!!! ☀️🌴💞 So blessed!!!!!! 🙏
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.
Thank you for making the trip to the Keys, and sharing it with us. I live in NJ and would love to drive to the keys. But its just a dream. I will savor your journey and be forever grateful. Bless you!!!
Great driving tour around Miami to Key West. Beautiful street scenery. Magnificent view of clouds formation, blue sky and the pathway. Tnx4sharing fully watched ActionKid.
Formerly from Florida, I'm now living in Germany. Thanks for the awesome video going thru the Florida Keys! What memories!! That's my favorite road trip!❤️✌🏽🚘 I'd love to see a return video back to Miami!
I still can remember our drive to the Key West that it took several hours to get there but , there’s such a beautiful sceneries along the way , like The Seven Mile Bridge it’s sight for the sore eyes so call…😎Overall it’s great to see this entire trip from Miami- Key West even though it takes some time so , thank you A K for sharing this great ride 🌴👍!!!
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 live in Hackettstown, NJ. My first trip to Key West was in September of 2022. A weekend drive with my brother-in-law. He lives in Naples. Fantastic experience!!!
I really,and truly,enjoy watching this video it's amazing and adventurous,I love your video.Please make a another one as soon as possible.I can't wait to enjoy the next one.Your video is the best.God bless you.From Mr Lawrence,Newman, 3rd
Thank you for the video very well done I've made this trip myself probably 25 times my first time I went down there when my parents back in 1965 one of my favorite rides is going across that bridge thank you again love your video❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
Didn't expect much, but turned out to be very relaxing ride. With big 4k screen I felt like your passenger. Thanks for taking me where I've never been.
I used to think California was the most Australian looking state in the US but this drive is SO much like coastal country Queensland if it wasn't for the right hand drive I'd think this was somewhere around Bowen or Townsville. Very similar looooong straight two-way highway with lots of traffic and lots of little coastal towns, coconut palms, salt flats, mangroves and tourist traps.
😂 Well, Australia not only drives like the British on the wrong side of the road but most of the vehicles in Australia are small Japanese and Korean ones like you see in all over Southeast Asia!
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.
I enjoyed watching that and to be honest my favorite part about the whole show was the beautiful scenes and that property on the water ..the cinematography and video effects .the acting...all excellent thank you!
literally the best thing i've experience in my life, been to key west twice (while staying in miami). at least once in my lifetime i need to actually stay in key west for vacation.
Naturally things have changed in the Keys since the '50s. As a child raised in Miami, the family spent at least one weekend a month camping beside Teatable Bridge inIslamorda, until hurricane Donna destroyed the land mass. (That's pronounced Isle-a-marada). I took the whole ride to Key West with you and enjoyed it so much. Last time I did this trip was early nineties. I live in Texas now. Great Video.
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.
This feels so much like taking a ride with a friend. I was about to point out, at about 15 minutes, that there was blue sky ahead, and the skies were brightening. Thanks for this.
There are some great ocean views on different segments of the Overseas Highway. 2:29:43 - 2:36:46 AMAZING views of the Atlantic Ocean on the Seven Mile Bridge!! 😍 The Old Town of Key West is such a cute and laid back area. 😃 I felt like I was tagging along on this ride to Key West, and thank you so much for sharing, AK! 🤗
I lived there and made that trip alot. Left there and needed to see HOME. Its too hot for that trip today. No clue when I will or can. SoCal is cooler on the Pacific. Much much cooler. Thank you. God bless you. 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks very much for video taping this trip. You did a great job as it was just like I was taking this trip in my car. A lot of clouds but that is normal especially for July. Great job!
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.
Did this trip back in June 2022. Stayed 2 blocks away from duval street and got to mingle with the locals. Wasn’t mad driving back to paradise, Miami. Even got a key lime pie on my way back
As a Brit who has never been to the USA, i would love to do this trip one day. I doubt it will happen, so for now watching your travel will be close enough.
This drive was one of the best life experiences. We did this drive last year. We drove down from Miami Beach and had a chance to stop at Bahia Honda. We spent a few hours in Key West and then drove back to Miami. I can't wait to do this drive again and next time we'll for sure stay in Key West longer.
I did this trip with my friend going to visit family in Marathon Key! This was in 1976 I'm sure looks very different today! But still amazing and beautiful!😊

That ride is sooo gorgeous, the color of the water is amazing for Florida and at the end Key West is a cozy little town.

Can't wait any longer for gta 6, I don't want to be a young boomer and playing it, But than again its probably 18+
I’ve never traveled for a vacation so thank you 🌺for allowing me to experience these dream destinations 🐠🔐
Yes, it's great! No packing/unpacking, or worries! 🌝
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
@@truthseeker243 what do you mean? If you travel by car on vacation you take no clothes?😯😂
@@truthseeker243 It wasn't really a serious question I just thought it was funny.
@@ActionKid Are you still loving Florida or do you miss NYC at all?
i like how the weather is overcast at the beginning but then slowly becomes clear skies
You are a very safe and good driver. Thanks for the ride. Life is a beautiful ride.
Much appreciated!
It's even more beautiful in person. You can't tell from the video but the Everglades are expansive and gorgeous.

I can't believe they built a road all the way there, being not from the USA I'd never really looked at Key West on Google maps before.

I drove there from Miami and back yesterday. It’s pretty long but definitely worth it the water is so relaxing to swim in

Wow so much fun ..thanks for the lift!
Incredible drive loved it all. Key West is just paradise. Great job 👏
Cool, absolutely beautiful drive. I rode my bicycle from Miami to Key West.Nice sharing ..
Awesome video! Miami and southern Florida is so beautiful. I was able to make this trip last month it was amazing.
This feels so much like taking a ride with a friend. I was about to point out, at about 15 minutes, that there was blue sky ahead, and the skies were brightening. Thanks for this.
This is the best tour video of key wedt ever ,believe me.
I'm amazed how you can drive this far, without a toilet and refreshment break!
There are some great ocean views on different segments of the Overseas Highway. 2:29:43 - 2:36:46 AMAZING views of the Atlantic Ocean on the Seven Mile Bridge!! 😍 The Old Town of Key West is such a cute and laid back area. 😃 I felt like I was tagging along on this ride to Key West, and thank you so much for sharing, AK! 🤗
Thanks! This is such an epic journey and love seeing all the amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean
Should have seen KW back in the 70s, when I used to make 2 or 3 trips a year there...before the tourists and the cruise ships discovered it.
@@flarrfan - I used to travel to Key West in the early 80’s. It was amazing. I want to go back this year but I’m afraid to be disappointed.
HengMiao - This drive has over 1 million views I noticed 🚘😎
@@Daniel-yb7mx Thank you for letting know!! 🤗 Wow, CONGRATS to AK for reaching 1 millions views on this driving video! 🤩
I lived there and made that trip alot. Left there and needed to see HOME. Its too hot for that trip today. No clue when I will or can. SoCal is cooler on the Pacific. Much much cooler. Thank you. God bless you. 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks very much for video taping this trip. You did a great job as it was just like I was taking this trip in my car. A lot of clouds but that is normal especially for July. Great job!
Great video. Enjoyed seeing what it is like to dive from Miami to Key West. Enjoyed the tour around Key West too.
This brought back some great memories! Such a scenic drive
OMG that old seven mile railroad bridge just sitting out there all these years rotting away!😱
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.
Did this trip back in June 2022. Stayed 2 blocks away from duval street and got to mingle with the locals. Wasn’t mad driving back to paradise, Miami. Even got a key lime pie on my way back
Awesome!
Thank You! Haven't watched the entire experience yet but will do soon. Thank You.
Miami driving tour look Very besutifull view
Thank YOU So much for great sharig
Thank you so much for the video. I will be making this same drive in September, but from Jacksonville.
In Winter of 1999, my friend and I hitch-hiked this entire route from Miami to KW. After hitching from upstate NY first!
I have not traveled to the Keys
. Always wanted to go. So i am getting to experience it through your videos. Thanks
This video gives me 2010 vibes when I went to Florida to see my grandmother for the first time :D
Thanks for the preview..I have been on the same route..went to keywest for an overnight party..I am a belizean
Magnifique Merci Denis from France..😀🤟
As a Brit who has never been to the USA, i would love to do this trip one day. I doubt it will happen, so for now watching your travel will be close enough.
This is a really cool adventure. I’ve always wondered what it was like in the Florida keys.
it’s paradise.
This drive was one of the best life experiences. We did this drive last year. We drove down from Miami Beach and had a chance to stop at Bahia Honda. We spent a few hours in Key West and then drove back to Miami. I can't wait to do this drive again and next time we'll for sure stay in Key West longer.
I did this trip with my friend going to visit family in Marathon Key! This was in 1976 I'm sure looks very different today! But still amazing and beautiful!😊
Además de la belleza.Una obra impresionante de ingeniería. Excelente video.Congrat!
Thanks for a great ride to Key West. It has changed so much since I was there but it is still beautiful. Thanks again.
