Hey all, we're back from our Florida Keys vacation. Saw and did a lot of cool things.
Here's some things to keep in mind on your Keys vacation:
1) Go to Sloppy Joe's. Yes, this is a name of a place, the source of 'the' Sloppy Joe. I had one, and it was the best I've ever had! This was one of Ernest Hemmingways haunts before he moved to Cuba. Plenty of pictures of him on the walls, and stories. Thinking that 'The Old Man and the Sea' was penned there.
2) Rent scooters. A lot less headaches, and parking is free (car parking is .25 for 10 minutes).
3) Take a sunset cruise. A very relaxing way to end a day.
4) Schooner Wharf. Have a drink, a cigar and enjoy the view. Throw crackers to the waiting tarpin.
5) Mallory Square at sunset. Didn't get a chance to see The Flying Cats, but saw some other impressive performers (and some not so impressive).
6) NEVER EVER SPEED! There is a ton of police presence, and there is only 1 road in and out. They'll git ya! Speed limits change a lot from 55 to 45 to 35 back up to 45. So be careful!
Just starting to peel now from the huge amount of sun we took in on this adventure. Ouch.
