January 16, 2009, Newsletter Issue #150: Life is Laid-Back in the Florida Keys

Tip of the Week

The Florida Keys sprawl 110 miles southwest of Miami, connected to the mainland by the causeways and bridges. Life in the Keys moves a little slower. Expect fun and funky; entertaining and eccentric. Travel temptations in the Florida Keys include:

· Key Largo, the first island from Miami, is a perfect escape from the doldrums of the real world. Spend seven days in a beach cottage complete with a sailboat, glass-bottom boat a kayak for lazy days on water or diving and snorkeling over shipwrecks at nearby John Penekamp State Park. Ahhh!

· Islamorada offers world-class off-shore fishing or try your hand at the art of bonefishing in shallow waters close to shore. Picture a barefoot four-bedroom vacation rental villa right on the beach just steps from crystal waters with room for eight friends and family.

· Marathon Key is the mid-way point in the Keys. A beachfront rental is the perfect base for exploring all the attractions in the Key archipelago.

· Key West is the southernmost point in the continental United States. Rent a tropical cottage or a penthouse condo right on the ocean. Laze away the days. Watch for the famous “green flash” sunset in Mallory Square, sample the hot nightlife on famous Duval Street

Beware! Life in the Florida Keys is contagious; a visit may turn into a lifetime.
