We lived in Key West for three years. Get a boat and go to Sand Key. The snorkeling there is beautiful. We saw many double rainbows and water spouts off the coast.....lots of wonderful memories!

Can I come too! We love Key West. DKA is going with us for New Years Eve to see the transvestite drop in the shoe at midnight, want to come too?!
Maybe we will have to make a second trip!

I will post a long list of "things to do" later! Marathon Key is lot's of funn too! FFF and I had THE best prime rib we have ever had there.

book an extra room for us!
let's goooooo!!

great trip idea franny - and I am interested in details from sowallers about key west so that when we head down that way, we'll know what we want to do!

Me too, Toots. I wanna go there sooooooo bad.

New Years babeeee!!

Franny, that will be the best trip! A few years back we flew into Naples to see my folks, drove to Miami for a night or two and then carried on driving to the Keys. It is one heck of a scenic trip. Take your time getting there! I can't give you any tips for Key West because we had the kids with us so it was an entirely different kind of visit than you and your handsome husband will make. We had to eat at kid-friendly restaurants. We didn't even get close to that naked bar that jdarg loves.

I do love the drive over..yes Key West isn't exactly Mickeyville huh!

BB and Franny, next time you see jdarg, ask her about all her Key West stories.

Need to get a pad and paper for jdarg...

oh yeah and you have to go to The Bull in Key West. go to the third floor and call me :funn:
