2013 Florida ZR-1 Road Trip
Hello everyone from sunny Key West, Florida.
For this years road trip, we decided to go as far south as we could, so we headed to Florida. On Saturday we put the YELLOWZ on the AutoTrain. On Sunday we arrived in Folrida and drove to Miami and stayed in South Beach. On Monday we drove to Key West. When I get a chance, I will post some pictures. Jim

Check out "Blue Heaven " restaurant, 729 Thomas St. Good food, good music.
Not much road for the car to stretch it's legs down there. But on the way back, give the Z a poke on the "Seven Mile Bridge", yeeehaaaw. |

Blue Heaven = Mimosas at brunch......
a little time next to the pool, then a Cuban sandwich and black beans with a couple of mojitos........a nap in the hammock.....then some grouper or perhaps cobia on the grill along with the fresh gulf shrimp.....
I have made myself totally useless for the rest of the day.... Are you sure this is a Corvette-based website?=D> |

Re: 2013 Florida ZR-1 Road Trip
Back in the 80's I traveled to Key West on numerous occasions in connection with US Navy's PHM missile hydrofoils stationed there at the time.
It was a quiet sleepy place before it was "discovered" by the crowd alluded to in Frank's above warning. I'll have to say the restaurant food and service did improved though. Have a great time Jim and enjoy a drink for us at Sloppy Joes.

Re: 2013 Florida ZR-1 Road Trip
So Frank, you're saying this would be Pete's favorite spot?
My wife and I enjoyed Key West a lot. About as close as you'll get to a Caribbean island and still be in US. Went to Shula's and had a 32oz lobster tail. Looked like a football.
