For the more historical of you that are asking yourself What to do in Key West? There is Hemingway house key west, Southernmost House which is actually a hotel that host beautiful weddings. For the more modest of us there is the southernmost point which is just a concrete buoy that marks the most southern point of the continental USA and 90 miles to Cuba. People claim that under perfect weather conditions you can see the lights of Cuba, I have yet to prove that point….

You could also visit the Key West Old town, which is full of bars, restaurants, small boutique hotels, and small shops. It is a very nice place to walk around and enjoy the fantastic weather that Key west has to offer year around. Actually now that I think about it, I think that Key West is a much better port than Nassau, not sure why more ships don’t stop there rather than Nassau. It is so much cleaner, the history, so easy to get around, and BEST OF ALL your cell phone works!!!! Lol, that is a big deal to my mom!

I wish I had more pictures about Key West, but unfortunately last time I traveled there was before I started working on this webpage and getting obsessed with taking pictures of buildings and areas. But I think most of you can get more pictures from a simple google search. Overall I love Key West, it is such a nice place not to mention open minded. You can pretty much go there and make a fool of yourself and few people will acknowledge you, its like a small party town. Not that I made a fool of myself, lol. I would much rather if my cruised stopped in Key West rather a place like Jamaica, unfortunately cruises that stop there are limited. I guess it is not a very popular port, and cruisers rather go international than national. But for us, it is just perfect!
