Sunset Sunday – A Sunset with Conch at Bayside, Key Largo

On a recent trip to the upper Florida Keys, I decided to meet up with Claudia one of the founders of the Florida Keys twitter chat for a sunset. We selected the Bayside Grille in Key Largo. Located at mile marker 99.5, the location offers a restaurant upstairs and a more casual bar below. We […]

Sunset Sunday – A Sunset Meal and Magic at Marker 88

Sunset Sunday – A Sunset Meal and Magic at Marker 88

by on May 20, 2012 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Sunset Sunday

Meals at sunset in the Florida Keys can be found up and down US1, the Overseas Highway. Directions to any of the places to watch the magic will also always include a mile marker. Of the 110 plus miles (or markers) from the mainland to Key West (mm 0), I’d recommend a few along the […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Mallory Square, Key West

Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Mallory Square, Key West

by on May 6, 2012 in Sunset Sunday

When people think of sunsets in the Florida Keys many think Mallory Square in Key West. It’s a good choice. On my first visit to Keys, now over a decade ago, I watched my very first Florida Keys Sunset from Mallory Square. And now with each visit down to Key West I make a point […]

Three Favorites from the Upper Florida Keys

Three Favorites from the Upper Florida Keys

by on February 9, 2012 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Destination

I visit the Florida Keys often and when I tell people they often respond with, “Oh, Key West.” No, not exactly.  The Florida Keys are more than Key West. Much more.  The change in attitude begins at the latitude in the Upper Keys begin. Travel plans to the Florida Keys often center around Key West. But […]

A Different Path leads me to Rent a Jet Ski in the Florida Keys

A Different Path leads me to Rent a Jet Ski in the Florida Keys

by on October 13, 2011 in Adventure Mindset

At first, I was shocked at the price; seventy-five dollars for half an hour seemed steep. I was offered fifty-five (on the phone) at the shop by Snappers (mm94) earlier in the week, but no one was at the dock when I arrived. It’s the Keys. At times, I thought I just wasn’t meant to […]

Sunset Sunday – Upper Keys, Florida

Sunset Sunday – Upper Keys, Florida

by on October 9, 2011 in Sunset Sunday

In a play based on my life, the Florida Keys would be one of the major settings along with perhaps New York City and Mexico. The destination provided so many wonderful memories (a few scary ones too). I expect so much more magic from the Keys in the future too. Yes, I will always return […]

Sunset Sunday – Islamorada, Florida Keys

Sunset Sunday – Islamorada, Florida Keys

by on June 19, 2011 in Sunset Sunday

A slight breeze kept the mosquitoes away while the temperature dropped just a few degrees from its midday high. The idyllic climate matched the setting as I settled in for the sunset at Pierre’s in Islamorada. The bartender arrived with our cocktails and placed my manhattan on the table. As I reached for my first […]
