If you are new to florida, this is a must! Hwy. 41 or Tamiami Trail is FLAT & Straight, but the scenery is pretty cool. There will be alligators right up to the edge of and on occasion in the road! The Tamiami Trail passes thru Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park. Stop along the way at some of the local indian shops for authentic seminole or miccosukee tribal stuff. Stop in Homestead at the Miccosukee Indian hotel & casino to eat, drink, party & spend the night. Get up early the next morning to ride out across US 1 (Overseas Highway). This ride is best at sunrise/early morning hours, the water just seems to sparkle!! The ride across the keys and bridges is great anytime, but definately best early am. You end up in Key West, make your way immediately to Duval Street!!

This would be a cool ride...just make sure you don't try to pet the gators along the way!
I would reccommend fall or winter for riding though, we just got back from down there and at 100 degrees with a heat index of 105, getting stuck in traffic or just riding in full gear is not fun!
