Nosso grupo fez Key West pelo dia e foi muito divertido. É um dia longo, mas a paisagem faz o caminho passar voando. Tinha espaço de sobra para o grupo todo, e ir todos juntos fez o dia.

My partner and I took the day trip to Key West so neither of us had to drive the long road down. The van was really comfortable for the long ride, the AC was perfect.

Nós dois queríamos um dia em Key West sem alugar carro, e foi perfeito. Um dia muito lindo para nós dois, com o caminho tão bonito quanto o destino. O caminho pelos Cayos foi impressionante — as vistas não paravam.
