We're planning a trip to the Keys in November. Any suggestions?
Don't forget the Sun Block when in The Keys!

I got burnt to a crisp in February once and I don't get sunburns.

NO GAY SPRAY
It's waterproof, not greasy and dries instantly.
Close your eyes, hold your breath and spray directly in your face.
It driesinstantly and won't drip into your eyes.

My wife and I love the Keys - even got married at the courthouse at mile marker "0." We rode down in January. If you have never been, have breakfast at Blue Heaven in the Bahamian Village. Try the Lobster Benedict, you won't be sorry.

Key West Fish Cutters at mile marker 25. The best BLT in the world...That's bacon, LOBSTER and tomato.

Geiger Key Marina around Mile marker 7 (turn at the circle K and look for Geiger Key road). Great people and biker friendly.

If you want to get out on the water while you are there, try Seabago Sports "Island Ting." You will find brochures and stands all over the place. It is a six hour trip on a Catamaran that starts with breakfast on board, out to the reef for snorkeling, snacks, guided kayaking tour around a mangrove island, lunch...........it is the best value on the water. My wife and go 1-2 times per year and this is the best deal we have found. Also, the Waverunner tour around the islands is a blast. Leave from the gulf side and take a 26+ mile tour around Key West, hitting the Atlantic, the harbor, etc. We also had plenty of play time on the machines.

I found this old thread and am reviving it. How were your trips screem andkamasutramantra? We are planning to do the Keys next summer. We are coming from Missouri so we will take a while to get there, but we are going to head to the Natchez Trace on the way down and take our time getting there. See the sights!

Here's my recomendation for a dive trip in KW. Have used them many times. They're located right in front of Conch Republic Seafood Resturant.

thanks 4 asking philt... trip was excellent, i ran away from home for 25 days logged a total of 5,155 miles (solo) and loved every minuteof it.

spent 2 nights in ft. meyers beach(s.o.b.s' the best garlic crab on this planet) , 7 nights in key west, which is a great great place(party town) i.e. hogs breath saloon, sloppy joes, the lazy gecko, schooners wharf, and if you like seafood .... the half shell raw bar is a must stop, they have 50 cent oysters everyday from 4:30- 6:30 . red fish blue fish has incredible ahi tuna also (sorry but im crazy for good seafood). if you're traveling with the guys you have to go to teasers on duvall st. its a pretty good peeler joint, sorry ladies. after the keys i rode to miamis south beach for 4 days. i had to see it i had never been there, but it was a little too foo foo for me. beautiful place though, tons of $$$$$. after miami went to boston for 5 days to visit friends, bostons always a great time. took a pretty cool tour of fenway park. then on to portland maine for 1 day, again more great seafood.

other single night stops zzzzzzzzzzz along the way chatanooga tn, bushnell fl., rome ny., toledo oh., washington dc..

i could go on and on . all in all it was a good time and cant wait for the next escape. adios
