There are a few things to do here, such as canoe trail, birding, and boat tours.  The rangers programs here in the national parks are all pretty nicely designed. You can look them up on their website and choose the ones that seems interesting to you. 
Day 2 – Everglades – Shark Valley, Big Cypress National Preserve, Choco Island, Star Gaze
      
Shark Valley

Miami International Airport - > The Shark
Valley Visitor Center
- 51 minutes 
The trail is called the loop road.  There are two ways to the observation deck.
Both ranges from 7 – 8 miles.
-  Depends on how you want to enjoy the trail.
There are three different methods.
Walking Around – Round trip time 4 – 5 hours
Bicycle – Round trip time 2 – 3 hours
Tour Bus (Called Tram) - Round trip time – 2 hours

There are a lot more alligator compare to the other Everglades trails and there is a resident crocodile. The alligator can be
extremely close to you and even sit on the road. So watch your footing.




Big Cypress National Preserve

The Shark Valley Visitor Center - > Big Cypress Swamp Welcome Center
- 43 minutes
 I pulled a short stop here. You can see alligators and go birding.The fun part is that it is a dark night preserve. It allows for stargazing during a moonless night. There were just a bit of light dome on the horizon. So come back during the night. It will be on your way back from Chokoloskee to Miami. 
Everglades City and Chokoloskee
Big Cypress Swamp Welcome Center - > Chokoloskee

Great place for some sunshine and walking around. There are a couple of stone crab restaurants that are pretty good.

Continue your drive a bit to the east and will get you to Key Biscayne. There is a state park at the very end.




Use one of the parking spots just off the road on your way back from Key Biscayne to view Miami’s skyline at night


Day 5 – Key West
Miami International Airport - > Key West 
- 3 hours 30 minutes
The overseas highway is beautiful. There are a lot of parking slots along the road. Make a stop and take in the air. 
BTW - keep your heads up, there is a military base and there are fighter jets flying around. You may even see landings

There are a lot of trails along the way. Pick your favorite and make a stop while driving. I visited the National Deer Refuge (Big Pine Key), however, I missed my one chance to take a picture.

Attractions on Key West (You can rent a bike or do  some walking. My favorite was getting a motorcycle) 
- Snorkel (Called Dolphin Watch) - they guarantee you play with dolphins
- Key West Lighthouse 
- the view from top, but remember to look up.


- Little White House


 

- Zero Mile Mark


- Earnest Hemingway’s house
- Mallory Square


- Sunset at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park





-Southernmost Point
- there is also a CCTV here. The footage goes up to a website and anywhere in the world can tune in and see you when you pose in front of it. It is up on a street lamp. Your job to find it =) http://southernmostpointwebcam.com/ 
 

If you get the chance or staying an extra day here, try Dry Tortugas National Park.

General tip:
-  Do consider a toll plate protection
- The nightlife here is amazing. It is easy to find parties and clubs simply by strolling on South Beach. I do recommend to do some search beforehand if you are looking for anything special.
- Music Festival coming up on March 18th – 20th.  
最后吐槽下，这个发帖子的界面真的有点醉人
