Hi Everyone
We are back from Ibiza all relaxed and tanned. Summer has arrived in Spain, wish it would here. Portinaxt is a superb resort with stunning scenery. Found a nice Spannish owned bar for a jug of Sangria every night.
Didn't want to come home but it's only 2 months to our summer holiday.
Will catch up with posts.
Wayne

do you have kids or just you and DW?

We have 3 between ourselves, but they are not coming on this vacation. 2 stilll in the house, one about ready to leave High School and the other close on her heals. We will have our 8th Anniversary on 10 OCT. I will be trying to get Palo reservations for that day.

I was in the Keys a number of years ago and found them incredibly tacky and I really don't expect them to have changed much. I have heard that we should do the sting rays, but Mina does not swim and I don't know how much to push. Also I am not much of a beachy person, being very fair skinned. Although I intend to find some shade on CC and relax (well maybe go up in the parasail).

As Mina was born outside the US, she has never seen any of this part of the world and would like to make the whole trip as interesting as possible.

The only part of the keys that are tacky are the touristy spots, there are many wonderful places, esp Key West that are full of history and just beautiful. Hemingway's home is beautiful if you like that kind of thing, Duval Street is great, the whole place is just wonderful

Hi Crainbow, at the sandbar the water is only waist height so mina may enjoy the stingrays, they also do brunch on kw day so you could celebrate twice at Palo

we were thinking of renewing our vows in key west on smathers beach or at jefferson fort couldn't spring for the disney renewal but KW is really reasonable . Has anyone been to either beach, which is the more romantic ?

I can't wait to go to the Keys, i guess as Jen says like every resort the tourist trap area will be tacky but we plan to venture all over the island

ohh the waiting is excruciating

Exceptionally tired, stayed up late to watch the Tampa Bay Lightning win the Stanley Cup. I'm starting to think Canada is cursed that they can't seem to take the cup back....

 

[traycie2201]

[Silentshot]
