Day 1 - Me, myself and I checked into OKW at 8:30 am - early due to the time change - lucked out and a room was ready - I'm in bldg 23 nice and close to the hub of OKW. I plan for a quiet day and plan to relax by the pool after I run out to Super Walmart and get a few groceries in preparation for company coming later in the week. To my surprise I come out of my door while talking on my cell phone and run into a creature I am not very fond of - a snake - which made me let out a squeal that made one of the CMs come running. I think after he tried very hard not to laugh at me when he saw the state of panic I was in, he decided to get some help to chase off the slimy creature. The brave CM told me it was safe to go back to my room but I decided that I would go back to my room after my trip to the store. When I returned I decided to look around before going to my room - okay it was safe now. Time to relax by the pool and plan my day - it was gorgeous weather and I was not in a hurry so ..... after a few hours by the pool I decided to visit some of my favorite hotels and decide where to eat a nice light lunch/dinner. I visited the AK Lodge and the Polynesian. It was still nice and warm so I decided to go back to OKW and lounge around some more. A nice way to start a trip - and different by my standards - I usually start running to the parks immediately but it was nice to just relax!

Your day sounded lovely (except for the yucky creature). Happy belated birthday!

You handled the snake much better than I would have! I would have screamed loud enough to bring every cast member running and then, I would have needed oxygen and a new room!

Hope the rest of your trips is fabulous and you have no further encounters with snakes!

I have an irrational fear of snakes, seriously! I would have had trouble going into the pool later water mocassins, you know But I <b>love</b> Old Key West, it's such a beautiful resort :)

Great beginning, other than that :)
