I'm gonna talk food.

Make sure you get off the beaten path of Duval Street and find one the little family-run Cuban restaurants. Yummy, yummmy.

I'd also recommend the restaurant owned by the actress from Top Gun (Kelly something?). Can't remember the name of it, but the food and service were excellent. And the bar is really cool. It is apparently the building in which one of the airlines had its beginning and has really cool memorabilia from that period.

Just off Duval are several cigar shops. Even if you don't smoke cigars, you can go in and watch them custom roll cigars. And the smells! Unsmoked cigars, for some reason, smell wonderful.

And I agree with others, even though it's a total cliche. Take in sunset in Mallory Square. Much as it has become more commercialized, it is still one of the greatest freak shows of all time.

If you can drive up that far, take in Pennecamp Park. If you dive, it's a great place to do that.

I'm such a slut for the blues.

Key West was where I went on my honeymoon, and my new wife decided to join me too.

My favorite place to eat there is a place called The Half Shell raw Bar. Good Seafood and lots of local flavor.

A good place to spend some time is the cemetary. There is actualy a lot of history to that particular plot of land.

There is of course Hemingways house the fort and the lighthouse, and of course Mel Fischer's Treasure Museum.

If you want to do something a little wild go to a bar called "The Garden of Eden" it is on the third floor of a bar called the bull and whistle. It also happens to be an open air clothing optional bar, so if you want to get a good tan, thats one place to go. remember the word optional, most people go just to say they have been, but don't take the option. Don't feel like you have to, no one trys and forces you to.

Come in a stranger,leave a little stranger

The Real World Key West house is on 32 Driftwood Drive. The roomies have moved out of the house and it should start airing shortly..... but it's an awesome house from what I've heard.

So, there's not a lot to do there, just:

Snorkling at Fort Jefferson
A dolphin place (wasn't actually planning on leaving KW but this sounds neat)
The typical tourist shopping area
sunset at Mallory Sqaure
bar hopping
Hemingway's
Cuban food
Kelly McGillis's
cigar making
Pennecamp Camp (I was actually planning on not driving at all, but we'll see)
Half Shell raw Bar (my better half might balk at that)
cemetary
lighthouse
Mel's Museum
a you-go-nudie bar (my better half would definately balk at that)
A Real World House!

and I'm surprised Sherps and no one else metioned
The Tennessee Williams Theatre

Anyway, thanks to all for your input, I'm mainly just wanting to relax and enjoy, the sunset thing is one I'm certainly gonna do!

SMILES ARE FREE
