Kwee, Great Post.  Key West is so close and I have been wanting to return for quite some time now, you just gave me the motivation to do so.  We can take the Key West Express from Marco or Ft. Mhers and be there in no time!

Absolutely darling and well written post.  My only question is "why did you write on the Keys when you're selling in Venice"?  Just wondering.

Kwee, thanks for the great post.  Our neighbors, when I was growing up, would spend time in the Keys every year, and had some stuff from there (i.e. mini, baby alligators that were stuffed; probably illegal now) but for the past 50 years I have wanted to make a visit.

Hi Kwee, looks like you two had a great time visiting the Florida Keys and Key West!  Aren't those Key deer "cute"?  I would only add one thing and that is eating real Key Lime Pie!  :-)

Kwee, you've pointed out quite an extensive list of What to do in Florida Keys.  I'd certainly like to experience all of them...I've never been to the Keys so it looks as though I have a lot of catching up to do.
