WHAT BRINGS THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT to the heart more than Christmas caroling, right! Our campground here in Key West, Florida arranged an Old Towne Trolley to pick us up and make our way through the local neighborhoods to enjoy the lights. This included unbelievably decorated home with families that go all out and provide fabulous light shows, one with a scream meter (yes, yelling increased the meter!), and snow-making machines. The ride ended with a roll down Key West’s famous (or infamous!) Duval Street with crazy fun caroling along the way!





Just prior to the holiday we had a great visit with New Jersey friends, Robert & Suppie which included a wonderful lunch at the coveted restaurant, Latitudes, on the private island of Sunset Key. I’m grateful to say I met this wonderful friend 40. Years. Ago! Yes, it has been that long since I moved to the West Coast…..time flies but this friend has always been constant!



What happens when there are several Airstreams around the park? A gathering of happy people to discuss all things Airstream including travel plans, maintenance, etc. I have to admit this is always one of the most fun things we like to do, gather with other Airstreamers. It was nice to meet fellow full-timers Shannon & Nathan (not pictured) from Wisconsin; Stewart & Jeanine from Minneapolis; and almost-full-timers, Cintia & Dan via Montreal/California. With any luck, we’ll see these smiling faces down the road.


And with a short drive north to the Blue Hole on Big Pine Key we saw the sweet Key Deer, no bigger than our girl, Piper; and my first alligator in the wild! Bucket List, CHECK!
