This trip started with my husband and I flying into Ft Myers on 3/20. We stayed at the Marco Island Marriott for two nights, and were married in Naples on 3/21. The hotel was beautiful, but we were so busy with the wedding, we didn't really get a chance to enjoy it.

We then drove to Key West for 2 nights. The drive was beautiful, and we really, really enjoyed Key West. We stayed at the Key West Marriott, and the hotel was amazing! We would recommend if you have the time pre or post cruise to stop here, that you do. It is well worth the trip, the scenery is gorgeous, the people are friendly, and there are plenty of fun things to do.

Next, we drove up to Miami, where we spent 3 nights at the Holiday Inn on South Beach. The hotel was nothing special, but it had a pool, was on the beach, and was cheep for South Beach prices. We had rented a convertible with Alamo for the week, so we dropped our bags off at the pier, then we dropped the car off, and took a free shuttle back to the pier. Read more
