Cheers from the Conch republic!
Hello guys,

I'm signing in from one of my top 5 locations on this planet!

That's right, Key West!

Got here yesterday, and even though it's my third time I feel like a teenager in love.

Sipping some good Bourbon at the moment, just had a Key West sunset Ale (very good) and kicking it back the "conch" style.

My wife and I are traveling with my parents, who haven't been to Florida for 20 years. It's their second time in Key West and they love it as much as we do.


Here's a pic from last night, a good meal, a great view of Duval street, some tasty bourbon and a nice cigar. My father and me.

Cheers guys.

Art, Orlando seems outside of the schedule.... I would love to go to KSC.... But the two girls seem to enjoy the sun and shopping too much.

Unlikely we will make Orlando this time...

Perhaps a Ft Liqourdale gtg?

Luckily we have some extra time in Florida, but only 4 nights in KW. Should have booked this vacation a bit different. Well, I shouldn't complain, Miami and Ft Lauderdale aren't bad either.

That has to be quite the break from Finland in November! Hope you have other warm weather destinations planned, or you're going to be settling in for a loooong winter.

Winter in Finland (south) is a pain. Either it's rain, or like the last 3 winters 1+ meter of snow. The south of Finland isn't really built for 1 meter of snow, (well the airport is) so it's a bit tricky.

Luckily a early spring vacation is in the plans.

Looks great Andreas! I've just been thinking I need a decent holiday and I'm wildly jealous... The last holiday we had was to FINLAND... in JANUARY!?!? I've never been quite right in the head!

Enjoy yourself, my friend!

That's a bit strange indeed.

But you got a scare on the ice though! That's gotta be worth something.

I'm enjoying every second! Haven't seen the KW sunset yet, as it's been a bit cloudy in the evenings, but it's promising tonight, so gonna soon head down to town.
