Well you know how the saying goes "whatever happens in Key West stays in Key West". Oh I guess that also applies to other places too. We shall attempt to give a brief overview of the days that have gone by. Here we go!!
1/26/2011 Wednesday
Not a tanning day so we head for Duval St. for JB to grab a haircut and I found me the Headlines Nail Salon. We picked up some fun Key West tee shirts. JB came across DJ's Clamshack while waiting for me to finish my appt and turns out they are the "only" restaurant that has Ipswich Fried Clams and the "BEST" New England Clam Chowder that we have had in a long time!!!!

60's and Sunny
We had a very tiring day!!! We did close 3 hours of walking, spent a few hours in the sun on our deck and had some of "Fishbusters Market Fresh" scallops for lunch. We walked over to the world famous Key West Butterfly Museum and it was quite a site!! We were told to enter quickly (so the butterflies do not escape) and to EXIT extra fast and to make sure no butterflies travel out the exit with us. If you are lucky and a butterfly lands on you, it will bring you luck! Well we both "got lucky". We finished the day with a special dinner at the Shor Restaurant in the Hyatt hotel. Really nice treat!! Joe had a local fish called "tilefish" which is a white fish and delicious. I had a Salmon dish which was also excellent!!! Pics will follow....

Open Day (no special plans) and our last Full Day in KW
We had some great pizza on Duval St. at the Upper Crust Pizzeria - nothing fancy but delicious!
Visited some of the local shops and took in some of the KW color.
Also watched a sunset at the Harborfront and met a very nice couple who were from Calgary and Maylasia (Fei and Scott).
We finished our day with a stop at "Salute'" for dinner.
1/29/2011 Saturday
Time to leave and we are not ready to go-We have really enjoyed our stay in KW. We definitely would like to revisit KW and we will plan to be "dropped in" the next time we visit. Although the long drive in was well worth the trip, we think flying in would be a great "Plan B" !!!
So we leave "kicking and screaming" for our next Road Trip and our next stop is Naples. Our condo in Panama City Beach will be available on Feb 1 so we will be sleeping over three nights. We are planning to spend two in Naples and one in Lake City. Ask us about the "shake and bake elevator".
1/30/2011 Sunday
While we were in Naples we decided to do a side trip to Marco Island. The beaches here are beautiful-just like powder!!
1/31/2011 Monday
Next stop Lake City. We stayed at a Comfort Inn which had only been open for a year!! Very nice!
This seems to be an up and coming area but not very developed as yet. However, a Sonny's restaurant was in view our hotel so we couldnt resist making another visit. This time we came away with some of their delicious roasted chicken which we enjoyed as a sandwich on Tuesday.
To be continued..........
