It's a great place.
It's like being out of the US.
You are only 90 miles from Cuba.
The drive down is as nice a drive as there is.
You go over long 2 lane bridges from island to island all the way down.
The water is turquoise blue and green..very pretty.
Key West is a fun place, fishing,food, Hemingway House, Mallory Square.
The strangest thing is all the bars are open all night.
At midnight, all the straight customers leave and all the hay people hit the bars and the party really rocks.
I'm awfully straight and I thought I was going to be turned off by that...but they are easy people to like.
No problem.
Key West has tried several times to succeed from the US be their own country.
Very different place.
Sounds like it might be a fun place to venture to for a vacation. From the sound of things, it seems similar to Cancun, a place where I spent 4 or 5 days on vacation, back around '85 or so.
Of course, in Key West, you're still in the United States, rather than Mexico. I might just give it a try it one of these days. It really does sound like a great place to be, if you're careful enough to keep tabs on the weather and avoid hurricane season.
