Key West


After a leisurely awakening, coffee, packing and good byes, we got on the road about noon headed for Key West. It was about a 5 hour drive with lunch at the Island Fish Company a place on the water that we realized once we were inside we ate at several years ago. We are at the Waldorf Casa Marina. It is a nice spa hotel sitting directly on the beach. There are 2 heated pools, dining on the beach, and a sunset bar on the beach. We stopped by the concierge and booked a reef fishing trip for the end of the week. He also gave us restaurant tips. We walked from the hotel to Duval street, then the entire length of Duval. The end near our hotel is a bit more sedate with galleries. The far end (where the daily sunset ritual occurs) was very funky with lots of live music, bars, shops and crowds. We ate pizza and drank margaritas on the second floor balcony of a restaurant near the southern end of Duval. It should be a great week with sun, relaxation and recreation.
