Key west and beyond


Well Key west was cold and windy but we still made it there, The drive there was the best great view, but the traffic in West was bad to many people we arrived in the afternoon and went to the Light House a fun historical place Juno even went in with us, than we gave Hemingway's place a try long lines but worth the Waite. we loved the pictures and personal things of his on display and boy did he have cats good thing we didn't bring in Juno, we have enclosed pic's after the House tour we drove through old town once more to many people so we drove back to our park and ready for the drive out of the keys, my friends you have to see them once for us 5 days was to long the only way for us to be in the keys is by boat not rv park or hotel or in town anchored off shore and island hopping is the thing and way to go and the only way we will return. now it took 6 hours to drive a 4 hour trip out of the keys to the everglades we are at a state park called  lake kissimmee it is a place we arrived after dark a few hours ago and hope to explore for a day we will post pic's and all the details soon Sean & Rondie & Juno

In the Keys at last



 what a great cup of coffee....................
 Robbie's a fun place , and very fat fish, there had to be 60 people feeding fish when we were here........



 this guy and I had to throw down he took my fish I took it back, but the look on his face he thinks he won........
We are enjoying ourselves staying at Jolly Roger travel park at Grassy Key just outside of Marathon, www.jrtp.com we arrived on Xmas day they put us in a pull through next to an other airstream 31 ft excel, well as it goes some people at parks are ferry nice and some just are not happy with them self's let alone others the other airstream people don't seem to like our old school awning so they complained to the office , the office ask me to move my guide rope's closer to my trailer pad well I was nice about it so I moved them a foot than asked the park for a discount on my site as I am  paying for a 42ft X 24ft site and restricting my awning would put my site at 12ft. they had nothing to say but sorry so I asked that they charge the other airstream extra for the space they want on the back side of their trailer. well all quite now the lesson hear is that some people want every one else to conform to their views and the world revolves around them we should all stand up for our self's and what we know is right as example we are paying same as that other person the office looked as her as old and would let her intimidate them on the other hand I to am a customer and I was right many people do not speak up for themselves well I do. this only has taken a little out of our fun time here in the Keys and moving on a great place to eat and on Christmas night  was Annette's stake and lobster what a wonderful place in Marathon, we had coffee to wake up and we were tired and both had lush Salmon dish with 2 sides of veg's good price all for less than a $50, after dinner a tour of the Xmas lights in town  than to our silver cottage. next day we toured the dolphin research center had a great cop of joe at a place called Midway cafe famous for lime pie we will go back for that some of the best coffee I have had, move over Starbucks midway has your number well for all my Army buddy's we still have the best joe know to man. we did a lot of driving around and made it to Robbie's marina oh my god what a great place to see and have fun its kinda a cross of a Mexico swap meet and road side attraction, this place you have got to see. Rondie got a small bucket of fish to feed the fish with ok what?????? yes the Tarpon a large 4 foot or more fish that will eat out of your hand she had a blast well my turn and with me nothing is easy as I am feeding the large fish the large dog size Pelicans decided they want a fish the one in my hand well you guessed it I had to throw town with the bird I won the bird lost and the tarpon got the fish Rondie said I need anger management class so we called it a day, so I could bask in my glory and cook our dinner , We have much to do in only 5 days ,so updates may be a bit late coming on Key West and our Island hopping with the canoe if the swells don't get us, stay safe and happy travels friends.
