WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES KEY WEST SO SPECIAL? This 127-mile-long section of US 1 is literally filled with adventure linked by more than 40 bridges including the spectacular 7-mile bridge. There are amazing communities along the way, great campgrounds, restaurants, diving, snorkeling, sailing, it’s all here!
As we get ready to depart Key West, the town is moving into Christmas mode and crowds are picking up. There are several things I’ve saved for our next visit (yes, we’ll be back!) like Truman’s summer home and the floating Tiki bars that come with a captain/bartender! Top of our list this time around was lunch at Latitudes on Sunset Key, lobster omelette at Blue Heaven (or anythings at BH!), the floatplane trip to the Dry Tortugas National Park and sailing along with everyday things like trips to the dawg park, visiting various artisan/farmers markets, and discovery bike rides around the island.
Another reason this destination is one of my favs? Jim, who hung up his Chevron corporate hat eons ago with over a million miles with United Airlines, is one tired traveler. He has always said, “Sweetie, I’ll take you anywhere you want to go…in the Airstream.” It looks like I discovered the perfect tropical island where our Airstream fits in perfectly!
