The Florida Keys run 100 miles from the largest island, Key Largo, all the way to the tropical, rooster-crowing,Continue reading “Key West Revisited”

It’s a beautiful evening in Key West. Wish you were here!

CHASING THE ELUSIVE UNICORN and grabbing it…if only for a night. Bahia Honda State Park, just beyond the Seven Mile Bridge and located at Mile 37 in the Florida Keys, has been on my radar for sometime. However, to actually obtain a site here is akin to winning the lottery as one must be onlineContinue reading “The Elusive Unicorn”

Those succulents that have traveled miles with us over the past 21 months of full-timing and refuse to give up on me are getting the new pots they deserve.
