We made it. Staying off the interstates as much as possible we went to Jacksonville for the annual Iron Butt Party then KW by-passing the crazy people at Daytona.
Some serious traffic problems twice the day we went form Jack to Florida City. No traffic issues from Florida City to KW and back to Marathon. That was a very pleasant ride. Saw one police car.
Key West itself was a PIA. So many people walking and on bicycles going right in front of vehicles without looking. I took the maritime rule: "Big ship has right of way", my motorcycle was bigger than a bicycle to I took the right of way over bicycles. A lot of traffic. Honestly, I was not impressed.
Glad I went as I have been wanting to go almost all my life. I may return with my wife in my Ram 2500 long bed 4 door. That should be an adventure on those narrow streets. LOL
