    The wife and I are heading to Key West in the latter part of June. We will be staying on a 43' sailboat (no not cruising on it, just living there for 3 days!). For those whom have been to Key West before and have any helpful tips (especially of the money saving variety) I would very much welcome them. We are driving down in our own car and staying at Sun City Center before we make the long trek to our destination. Suggestions on places to eat, things to see, things to do would be nice. So far we are planning on snorkeling and possibly parasailing. Thanks in advance!

    P.S. - also include anything to be aware of as far as rip-offs and scams will be nice. I'll have wifi so I should be updating with PICTURES! Maybe I can talk Flat Tim into coming with us!

    Would not a gun be more compact and more practical? :cool

    Don't go to the 'Garden of Eden' rooftop bar if it's still there. Clothing is optional and those that opt not to wear it just shouldn't. :(


    Have a blast!:)

    That sounds scary. Good advice I guess. Care to elaborate on how you know about said place? :-D

    It's been a few years since we were there but i do remember The seven fish restaurant because being Belgian my wife and i are fish freaks and the seafood platter in there was just to big for us to clear the plates and it was first class food at sensible prices.
    I am not sure of the actual address but it is just off Duval street which is the main drag into town.

    I was innocently playing pool on the level below when my aunt comes in and says 'you have to come up here!!!'.

    So being the good obedient niece I am, I went right up...and had a few drinks. :-D Actually, it Was rather amusing in some ways...nasty in other (like when the dj had to tell the overly enamorous naked couple on the dance floor to bring it down a few notches :cry).

    Well, for one, I was dressed. :-D

    Not so sure what kinda pool you play, Fred, but the game I play is quite innocent. :p

    Goodness gracious what has happened to my thread? I'm looking for advise guys not a review on the "seedy" side of Key West (although it might be interesting to hear more LOL). Ok, let me be more specific here:

    What is/are some of the best restaurants?
    What is/are some of the best sights?
    Any advise on fishing trips/charters?
    Going to do a "ghost tour" any comments on that?
    Any other activities you might suggest?

    There you go, something a bit more pointed for the conversation (oh no, I can see where that last might be misconstrued. Behave Barry!):-D

    And don't play strip pool with strangers. Well, unless you want to. :-D

    Hey!, I am gittin' the blame, here!:cry
    ~ It's all Fred's fault!:p I don't know Jack, (if you'll excuse the expression, LOL), about Key West. :neener So I had to make some other stupid remark. Although the "Ghost Who Walks" does do Ghost Tours, eh.:-D

    It is all about freedom of choice. I said, don't do it, unless you want to. :-D

    Strip pool could get dangerous if you know what I mean. :-D
