A lot depends on how long you are going to be there.
What kind of "boat"?
Like Wayne says, the cruise ships are only there in the day time. Key
West comes alive at sundown, starting at Mallory Square where street
performers do just about anything you can think of for tips.


Then you have the walk up Duval street. Take the shortcut through the
market, go by Captain Tony's if just so you can sing the song..


The song? Last Mango in Paris?


That would be the one. They even have the lyric on the bathroom wall.


Then
cut *through the Hog's Breath, get a beer and wave to us on the web
cam and then out on Duval. Sloppy Joe's is across the street. The
party really starts there and goes about a mile up Duval.
They started cracking down on drinking on the street but it is not
absolutely a rule. Sometimes the best place to listen to the music is
on a bench outside. They do get loud.


If you are there for a few days, there is a nice beach down past the
Truman house. (grilles tables etc) It is not a horrible walk from
Duval Street.
They do rent those GEM electric cars.
It is man made from the dredging when they were digging the harbor and
really one of the few beaches in the Keys. Most of the time you are
walking on coral rock until you are in the water.
Some hotels and resorts have made little patches of beach but this is
a nice sized one.
The water there is unbelievable if you have never been in the
Caribbean.
A snorkeling trip or diving if you have a card is worth doing.


The best dive is actually about 35 miles up the Keys at Looe Key
Marine Sanctuary (Big Pine Key). That is a protected reef in shallow
enough water so snorkeling is reasonable. It is better than Pennekamp
in my opinion.


Of course there is some pretty good fishing once you get away from
downtown Key West.


My wife is a non swimmer and I am not a good swimmer so we will be
snorkleing in shallow water, most likely at Bahia Honda or near our camp.
Do you recommend water shoes for protection? If so what brand/style?


I've been trying to wear out a pair of original style Crocks for at
least 5 years now.
i use 'em as slippers around the house, as boat shoes and beach shoes.
I even walk the dog in them sometimes. * Wish I could wear them out..
they've never looked the same since I splashed oil based paint all
over them while spinning a paint roller clean.

I think you have the 5 years wrong. By looking at the picture of your
house it's been a LOT longer than five years since you touched it with
paint. Maybe you were painting someone else's house?


Climbing a ladder and painting outside in Crocs?
Are you really that stupid, Kevin?


There you go again!!!! You got your ass handed to you because it was
shown over and over that I'm not someone named Kevin, but you are too
stupid to quit! And what's so stupid about painting outside in Crocs?


If you can't figure out why climbing a ladder in Crocs might be
dangerous, you're way beyond any help I can offer, Kevin.

If he was eating a chili dog, he probably bought it himself with either
a paycheck or a pension check, neither of which you could do.

A lot depends on how long you are going to be there.
What kind of "boat"?
Like Wayne says, the cruise ships are only there in the day
time. Key
West comes alive at sundown, starting at Mallory Square where
street
performers do just about anything you can think of for tips.

Then you have the walk up Duval street. Take the shortcut
through the
market, go by Captain Tony's if just so you can sing the song.

The song? Last Mango in Paris?

That would be the one. They even have the lyric on the bathroom
wall.

Then
cut through the Hog's Breath, get a beer and wave to us on the
web
cam and then out on Duval. Sloppy Joe's is across the street. The
party really starts there and goes about a mile up Duval.
They started cracking down on drinking on the street but it is
not
absolutely a rule. Sometimes the best place to listen to the
music is
on a bench outside. They do get loud.

If you are there for a few days, there is a nice beach down past
the
Truman house. (grilles tables etc) It is not a horrible walk from
Duval Street.
They do rent those GEM electric cars.
It is man made from the dredging when they were digging the
harbor and
really one of the few beaches in the Keys. Most of the time you are
walking on coral rock until you are in the water.
Some hotels and resorts have made little patches of beach but
this is
a nice sized one.
The water there is unbelievable if you have never been in the
Caribbean.
A snorkeling trip or diving if you have a card is worth doing.

The best dive is actually about 35 miles up the Keys at Looe Key
Marine Sanctuary (Big Pine Key). That is a protected reef in
shallow
enough water so snorkeling is reasonable. It is better than
Pennekamp
in my opinion.

Of course there is some pretty good fishing once you get away from
downtown Key West.

My wife is a non swimmer and I am not a good swimmer so we will be
snorkleing in shallow water, most likely at Bahia Honda or near
our camp.
Do you recommend water shoes for protection? If so what brand/style?

I've been trying to wear out a pair of original style Crocks for at
least 5 years now.
i use 'em as slippers around the house, as boat shoes and beach
shoes.
I even walk the dog in them sometimes. Wish I could wear them out..
they've never looked the same since I splashed oil based paint all
over them while spinning a paint roller clean.

I think you have the 5 years wrong. By looking at the picture of your
house it's been a LOT longer than five years since you touched it with
paint. Maybe you were painting someone else's house?

Climbing a ladder and painting outside in Crocs?
Are you really that stupid, Kevin?

You wear Crocks! LOL!!!


You got a problem with that, Girlieman?


Yeah, I think you are a pussy... I got a good laugh thinking of your
fat, bald, bowlegged ass standing there with your plaid shirt half
untucked, a yellow fedora, black socks, crocks, suckin' down a chili
dog..... LOL!


You don't need to make **** up about him. He's goofy enough in real life.

If he was eating a chili dog, he probably bought it himself with either
a paycheck or a pension check, neither of which you could do.


Would that be better than buying said chili dog with dividends from
investments?

How would you outfit an inflatable for gunk-holeing around the islands?
