In some ways, I see a strong comparison between Skagway, Alaska, and Key West, Florida. Both are pretty much on opposite ends of the world. Of course, if you ask me which place I'd rather be tapping my toes on New Year's Eve, I'm gonna pick Key West for the weather alone, although Skagway is absolutely beautiful.
On the plus side, at least Skagway residents get a relief from the onslaught of tourists when the cruise ship season ends, but it looks like Key West never gets any rest from the throngs of tourists. Tourists are everywhere, like ants on a rotting doughnut. What the hey, everybody is jovial or drunk or hungover, and the anticipation of New Year's Eve is in the air.

Happy New Year Elizabeth.
