Florida Keys Question

[Danman]

Well, Nicole and I decided that we want to go the Keys since we never been there. We will probably take a long weekend (3 or 4 day vacation) down there to have some fun and just relax. What I'm wondering is, what the hell is down there? I know we can do stuff like snorkeling or jet skiing or any other kind of water sports, but what else is there? Suggestions when we should go? Thanks!

snorkeling. coconuts. conch fritters. gay sex.

All of these things are easily available in the keys.

*Link* has some info... I've been there once myself. I ended up going snorkling which was great, it was pretty clear and there was alot to see. I also did swim with dolphins which sorta freaked me out cause I'm not a fan of big things that live in water hehe. It's really fun once you get used to being in the water with them though.

Well you don't have to worry about any men hitting on Nicole. That is for sure. You should go to Miami.

That's where I'm kind of from, I was born in Ft. Lauderdale and always went to Miami. I want to go somewhere different, not Miami again.

I just got back. We snorkled and went parasailing. We were going to go to Dry Tortugas but we ran out of time. We also drank, enjoyed the sun, ate Key lime pie, and got massages (the pg-kind).

Howdy,
It's a nice drive down into the Key's I should know have been down in the Key's numerous times, just be careful and obey the speed limit as FHP and local Sheriff's like to ticket speeders.
The main points that stand out in my mind Islamorada nice little town to stop pick up a few souvenirs stop by the chikki hut get a drink and walk around the dock there's always fish waiting to be fed behind the bar there's a nice little beach and a fresh water pool.
Stop in Big Pine Key (they enforce the speed limit that's posted) and check out the Key deer they are protected by state law so don't get caught feeding them or trying to touch them just drive down one of the gravel side roads and you'll see the Key deer. Don't know the name of the salt water pond that's in Big Pine ( just ask a local they'll head you in the right direction) its really clear and you can see all the tropical fish, sea turtles and barracudas floating around in the pond there in a salt water inlet to the pond.
Stop off by the 7 mile bridge there are parking places along the road take a dip in the Atlantic and then walk across the street and take a dip in the Gulf.
Key West is nice rent a scooter and ride around the town check out the sites Mallory Square is nice about sundown all the freaks come out @ this time this is very cool, stop and have your picture taken @ the southern most point of the US of A.
The tourist traps Hogs Breath Saloon, Ricks Cafe 6 bars inside, MargaritaVille you'll definitely not lack for things to do...
*Fantasy fest is really cool during Halloween there are so many people on the island that you can't move everything from A to Z have done Fantasy Fest the past 4 years in a row and plan on going again this year.
*oh yea if you stop in for a drink @ some of the motels don't be offended by nude people walking around as pretty much anything goes down there in Southern Most Florida.
