Whether on the flight to Key West or while visiting there, it is nice to have a good book to read. Two of my favorite fiction novels have a Key West / South Florida setting.

It may seem like a simple question, "What's the best way to get to Key West?" But take my word for it, it's not! Worth a read if you are considering a trip to Key West.

In Key West, the main footwear is sandals and the sandal made in Key West is Kino's. A visit to their store/factory is an experience. The best part: The sandals cost somewhere between $14-$18. Most of the women's sandals cost $14-$15.

If Gilligan and the Skipper's boat had gone down off the coastline of Key West, odds are that they wouldn't have wound up on a beach.

As you begin to wander around Key West, you will continuously see roosters and chickens walking around freely. On my first trip, this struck me as odd but with KW having a Caribbean feel, not necessarily out of the ordinary.
