Off to Key West (KW) Stopover in Deerfield Beach and revisited Ocean's Restaurant and walked The Pier which only costs you a dollar and a popular place to fish. If you know your fish, the catch of the day were Barjacks.

70's partly SUNNY!! Continued trip in KW. Slow highways but well worth it! Our "studio" is on the ocean and what a view!!! What a find (quiet and private yet a nice walk to downtown and the waterfront) iff this is studio living, we are in! Within our view is Higgs Beach and the White Street Pier. Lots of activity in view from our newly renovated deck. Cruise ships, a few skidoos some parasailing. ....

Mid 60's Sunny and Breezy! We took in the sun and then ventured out later in the day for a walk downtown and we passed by the "Southernmost 0 Mile Mark" of US 1 (at this point you are only 90 miles from Cuba). We will be taking our pics from here before our stay is over. Took a Bicycle Cab ride back. What a day!!
1/24/2011 Monday
We walked ALL over from Downtown-Historic-Harborfront areas. Lots of cruise ships are in port today!
We also took in the "Conch Train Tour" which gave us a good sense of the area and all the hightlights!
1/25/2011 Tuesday
Mid 60's early on and cloudy so we drove around and picked up some fresh oysters, shrimp, scallops and stone crabs. We will be enjoying some of the freshest catch of the area for a few days to come!!! The afternoon weather was nicer and we did our walk to the Harborfront (no ships today-so the streets are rather quiet but very nice) and walked Duval Street (main street). We had our Stone Crabs on the deck for an app (so delicious) and JB made his Fettucini Alfredo. Great day!!

Disney Update
1/19/2011 Wednesday
We spent some time in Epcot. We all did Soarin 2 times and Tam, Dave, G did Test Track 3 times and I sat out the 3rd round. Also did Progress Tomorrowland. We did our usual time poolside and then we travelled over to Universal Studios for dinner at the NBA restaurant. What an experience and the Celtics game was on while we finished dinner! Tam took some great pics of Gio in and outside. Lots to tell about our time that we spent here. Oh yes, we did stop by Cinnabon for Cinnabuns for dessert back at our hotel!!
1/20/2011 Thursday
We revisited Hollywood Studios for another helping of Tower of Terror! Tam, G and JB went on it twice and Tam and G went on one more time with the extra Fast Passes. We also took in the Drew Carey show and the Back Lot Tour. JB and I did some packing for our next move to Key West tomorrow and then we did our pool visit - although it was cloudy but 70's-still not a bad deal!!! Dinner was at the Wildernes Lodge -one of the newer Disney resorts- and lots of fun!!! They have interactive waitstaff that are real characters and the food is too good!!!

Happy Birthday Anna! Our Italian villa overlooks a view of the Disney and Epcot. We are seeing fireworks every night from our balcony!! No WIFI yesterday-up and running today. Sunday's weather was Partly sunny and 74!! We visited Downtown Disney and JB, Gio and myself went up in the Character Hot Air Balloon ride. What a view! The three of us also rented powe-r boats at the Capt'n Jack Mariner and Gio gave me a tour of the marina and lake. Gio had a great time doing "donuts" in the water. We did dinner at the Cape May Buffet on the Boardwalk property. Delicious as always!!
Slow start today-we are having a fast moving storm so we shall wait for the weather to pass before we venture out.

We packed in most of our stuff on Friday and enjoyed our last sunset on LBK. We had a late dinner at Moore's Snow Crab Restaurant right on LBK and it was delicious!!! The Snow Crabs were awesome!!!! Nothing fancy-just great food and a waterview!!!
We shall hit the road after lunch to join Dave, Tam and Gio in Orlando later today! Only a three hour drive or less to Olando so we are planning to take in some of the sites on our drive over.

We found a Macy's at the Westfield Town Square Mall and I was able to purchase some "cooler weather" clothing "just in case" it is still cool in Orlando when we meet up with Tammy, Dave and Gio. We ate a late lunch at an outdoor restaurant on Ocean Blvd in Siesta Key that had a heat lamp which was perfect and had a delicious "grouper sandwich". We made a phone call and connected with the Ranone's (neighbors of Tam, Dave in Gio in North Providence) who have a beautifull condo on Beach Rd in Siesta Key overlooking Siesta Key Beach!!!! We planned to only stop in and say "hi". Well, they are great entertainers and we didnt leave their home until 3 hours later after watchng a beautiful sunset from their lanai!!! What a treat!
1/13/2011 Thursday
The highlight of our day was a "sunset walk on LBK Beach" and we finished it sitting outside of the Club House on the raised deck bench watching the sun set! What a beauty!!
