Before my trips to Illinois and Colorado, I embarked on my very first road trip from New York to Florida, and what an adventure it was! I had just arrived in the U.S. in September, and my sister, along with her two lively boys, joined me for the epic 20-hour drive down to Key West, the enchanting southernmost tip of the continental U.S. They say Cuba can be seen from afar, but I didn’t spot it—perhaps it’s visible at night. As we sped through state after state, the landscape shifted from crisp, cool air to the sultry warmth and vibrant colors of the tropics. The island itself was a delightful mosaic of pastel colonial buildings, swaying palms, and sun-drenched streets, and we spent our days wandering, exploring, and soaking in every bit of its magical charm.

It must be wondrous trip. Cuba and Florida is so close in the map.

True, they are practically neighbors, with Key West at the southernmost tip of the Florida Keys chain. These small islands stretch toward Cuba and are linked by bridges, giving the impression of a continuous landmass rather than separate islands. Even so, traveling from the start of the Keys to Key West takes nearly two hours.
