Road Trip Key West 2021

[BluLightning]

Allen, I dont know if you're this far along yet. I am assuming we will be back in the Bradenton area Thursday night, is this a fair assumption?

I think we'll be going home up the East coast of Florida so probably not back to Bradenton.

Will have to put in for vacation soon. No idea what this year will be like. A couple of things have already been canceled. Others not posted yet that would normally be. Not to mention I gave the plumber 2k and not done yet.

OK, I'm booked at the HEI in FL, City as well. I want to look into a sunset boat ride while in Key West, Dose anyone want to go in on a charter if I find one for a group rate? I can start looking into it. Just tell me a head count.

A soft maybe for us. We are planning on going to the Dry Tortugas on the 4th (Tuesday) which most likely will satisfy our boating activities.

If you decide to do this, Donna and I would be interested.

Hello Bruce, good to see you here! BTW I like Key Lime Pie, although all I've had is probably not exactly "authentic"......

it should be yellow, not green...tart, not sweet....made with key limes, not limes....AND NO WIPE CREAM

OK, we're in at HIE Florida City also......

[BluLightning]

I just booked one there as well - cancellable with 3 day notice! Seems things are changing with COVID

You could cancel day of if you wanted to pay more.

We booked a room at the HIE in Florida City. It is cancellable so we can move if need be.
