Between 1 3/4 to 2 hours to Key Biscayne. Naples is about 100+/- miles away
from Ft. Lauderdale Airport.

And one of the most boring drives in the world.

But at 80+ mph it goes by pretty fast and there's lot's of exotic bird

Yes it is...but only if you take I-75. However, we stopped (*very* briefly)
at the Mullet fest in Goodland, and then travelled the Tamiami ("Tampa to
Miami") Trail to the Seaquarium.

When is the last time you pulled that off? I make the trip at least once a
month - in reverse - and lately the FHP and the Indian cops have been all over
that road. An article in the paper said that they average a bit over one
accident a day. Seems hard to believe on a divided highway like that with one
real exit ramp and only a few scattered rest stops. My guess is most of them
are from people falling asleep. There were also a lot of rollovers blamed on
the Firestone tire mess a few years ago...

The real fun was in the early 1960s, driving on K-10 late at night from
Kansas City, Missouri, to Lawrence. A winding country road, populated
with unguarded railroad crossings, sweeping hills, federal ammunition
dumps and no real enforced speed limit. An 80 mph average speed
was...just average. Many a time you'd have to guess whether you'd beat
that freight over the crossing... Ahhh...the heady days of Osawatomie,
Tonganoxie and other delightful Kansas place names.

You actually think the PA turnpike is one of the most boring drives in
the world, with all the mountains, bridges, tunnels, beautiful farms on
rolling hills, forests and scenery? I guess you've never been to
Kansas.

I've driven all through every single state except Alaska, Hawaii and
Wisconsin as well as all of the bordering Canadian provinces and I can
tell you from experience that the PA turnpike is far from being one of
the most boring drives in the world.

Seems odd missing just Wisconsin. PA is a pretty state, but for us in the
Northeast, a comparatively long state.
