Hi
My friend and I are in a bit of a pickle. We are staying in Key West for one night on April 12. We want to get there as early as possible on April 12, and on April 13, we are doing a day trip out to Dry Tortugas and then back to Miami that evening.
We have two problems with this. Firstly we can't find any sort of land transportation from South Beach to Key West that gets there earlier than 2:30pm. Secondly (an even bigger problem), the ferry from Dry Tortugas gets back at 5:15, and the latest bus out of Key West that I could find was 5:45pm with Greyhound (on the other side of key west at the airport). We won't make it in time for boarding.
Does anyone have any ideas of how we can get back to Miami that night that doesn't involve a plane? We've already booked our accommodation for south beach and are flying out of Miami very early in the morning on the 14th so we really do need to get back that same night. We really want to avoid hiring a car as we are Australians (left side drivers) and in our early 20s ($$$). The hire car depots aren't open to drop the car off that late except for the airport which will be difficult to drive around.
Does anyone know of any other alternatives that can help?
