I have always had a love, and I will go so far as to say need to travel. Yes, my soul thrives on travel. Sometimes, a short day trip will suffice; other times, I need a weekend getaway. Occasionally, I indulge in a week or ten-day trip. I love both mountains and water. But, my very favorite destination has become the lower Florida Keys.

Why the Lower Florida Keys?

• The easy direct flight into Key West
• The laid-back atmosphere and happy people
• The amazing food
• The warm weather
• The bright flowers
• The private islands
• The excursions available
• The things to visit- The Dolphin Research Center, The Aquarium, The Turtle Hospital

It is so much more than just a party in Key West. There are lesser-known Keys that are fantastic and offer farmers markets and all sorts of amazing things. Big Pine and Cudjoe Key are just a twenty-minute drive north of Key West…
