thanks!
the Keys were AWESOME! the winter is the best time to go. the last time we went it was in July and we were miserably hot. we stayed at the Key Lime Inn in Key West.(our second time staying there) its just 2 blocks off Duval. it really wasnt crowded! We visited Hemingways house and various museums, and of course the shops, southernmost point etc. we didnt have time for the beach, unfortunately.
when I was growing up we used to camp in Key Largo all the time. I love to snorkle and its pretty there. Pennecamp has lots of places to dive I think. it is about 3 hours to Key West from Ft Lauderdale with no traffic, 4 or more with bad, since there is only one highway. such a pretty drive once you are on the overseas highway/US 1. DH says we might have a new winter destination. I reminded him we havent been to WDW for Christmas in 2 years! we will have to see!
Happy New Year everyone!

DH worksuntil 9 and then we are going to friends to watch the ball drop. I hope everyone stays safe tonight!
ps
