No. 1 – Don’t go to key west
Great video if you are over 70 and have to have the most simple things spelled out for you.
His next video will be how to use a fork
Good video. The only criticism I have is to be careful who you call a Conch. Only those born in KW are Conchs. I lived there for 20 years and wouldn't call myself a Conch.
I've been to Key West back in 2011 for 2 weeks. I use to work for the traveling carnival, and our very last spot was on the boardwalk where the cruise lines pull in and out of port. Being 9 months pregnant, my boss wouldn't allow me to work. So, what did I do to occupy my time. I sat on the bench watching the cruise lines all day long, then watched the sunset ♥️♥️♥️
And yes, it's very true about the chickens hahahaha
My husband and I have vacationed in Key West every year for the last several years and have seriously considered permanently relocating there. It all started when we were on vacation in Miami Beach and decided to take a day trip to Key West by bus.
We fell in love with the island.
The people, history, museums and The Food are all great. I always say that going to Key West is like entering a world all its own in the very best way.
The Ernest Hemingway house is one of my favorite places to go, but we have been to all of the museums, most of them more than once and they have all been very interesting and worth the visit.
I also really love The Butterfly House The Tennessee Williams museum and the Little White House. The Sunset Cruise is also something that is well worth doing while you are there. We've also gone parasailing while there and that was also a lot of fun.
We are going to do the tour of Dry Tortugas national Park on this next visit.
We were planning on doing it this last time but we didn't realize that you need to make reservations for that months in advance and even the sea plane was booked so just a heads up for anyone thinking about it.
We've vacationed a lot of different places but to me coming to Key West is like coming to your home away from home.
I couldn't recommend this place enough.
Been out twice and neither time thought it was worth the trip.
2 hour drive from Miami? Lol! In your dreams….
Wish we were still near
my best vacation ever… and yes.. the beached down there SUUUUCCCKKKKK… wish I saw this video before we went.. wasted a day driving from beach to beach… go to Dantes pool instead 🙂
The coldest night I've ever had was in key west, spent all day snorkeling and in nothing but short pants fishing at night my body temperature dropped, remember, you can freeze to death in 80 degree water 🤔🕰️
So gay.
Some fun facts from a frequent Keys visitor: 1) It's illegal to harvest conch from Florida waters so it's all imported; 2) Key Lime Pie is easy to make (hint: add 3oz of cream cheese for better texture). I had it deep-fried once (once–cloying!); 3) A car is an impediment in KW as parking is ridiculous, but we fly to FLL (MIA sucks) and rent a car so we can visit other Keys (and the Everglades). There's a lot of great flora and fauna easily accessible from the Overseas Hwy, such as the Laura Quinn Wild Bird Sanctuary (MM93.6) and a bunch of places in Islamorada, Marathon, and other spots (some even in KW, such as the Garden Club and Wildlife Center). We park and leave it while in KW and walk everywhere (staying in Old Town); 4) KW has a lot of history, and a self-guided walking tour is a great way to see it (and get some exercise). There are many informative plaques in front of various sites; 5) If you want an interesting side trip, check out the Dry Tortugas–interesting history and great snorkeling (and yeah–I'd rather use my own).
Don’t cross the street at night! My neighbor was hit by a car & died!
That wasn't an iguana; it was a curly-tailed lizard. Iguanas are herbivores and won't bother you. And they are beautiful. If you have the time, fly into Miami and drive down to Key West, stopping at some of the islands along the way. Each island is very different. Rent a boat or go swimming in Pennycamp on Key Largo. Go fishing off Islamorada. See the Key deer and swim with dolphins. If you like water, the drive across the 7 Mile Bridge is stunning. I won't mention my favorite Key because it's already attracting too many tourists. But it's worth exploring a variety of them, even if you don't make it all the way to Key West.
So nice to see this. As a native conch, Iove it!
I lived there in the late to 70s into the 80s. Time has killed the key west old town charm…
sun block causes cancer not the sun!!! They Lied to you!!!
Haha, 2 hour drive from Miami?!! Try 4 without much traffic.
That airport is modern compared to what it was in '94 when I flew in for my time stationed on Truman Annex. It was nothing more than a brick block building with a roller door from the tarmac. The luggage was put on cargo rollers through a window in the side of the building that looked like something you'd see in a warehouse. It's been modernized over the years, including what appears to be central AC. There were a lot of "don't" options here, but in the end none of them really matter besides the chickens and the lizards. One to add though, which is a legal issue, don't pick up/take a conch shell if you see one. Conch moves from one shell to another as they outgrow them. When you remove them, you are removing their options and they can die. You can receive a hefty fine if you are found to be possession of one.
My daughter and I just faced the drive down and back from Michigan, and then we walked across the entire island of Key West. It was amazing! ❤
It wasn't until we moored our boat in the marina that I appreciated being in KW was worth the price of admission. We could walk out at 2am and there was a party going on. Made all the difference in our KW experience as opposed to staying in marathon and driving in. Good job!
We were there in march and was at a store in Marathon and I told the lady there my son in law found a big conch (and I pronounced it the way it looked) and she corrected me lol, still to this day it feels weird to say Conk lol!
The most IMPORTANT "don't" is DON'T move to Key West (if you're smart)….
As someone who graduated from the university, trust me when I say these two things. Most importantly, you need to drink SO MUCH MORE WATER here than you are used to. You are going to sweat a lot more than usual because of the humidity so drink water before you are thirsty.
Second, don't complain about the bugs. It's paradise for everyone, not just us. Getting bitten by 3 mosquitoes in a minute means you are doing really good. If you don't like bugs, don't leave key west. The further up the keys you go the worse they get (until about the 7 mile, then they start to get a little better).
Our biggest don't is: Don't expect sandy beaches.
My wife, dog and I spend 2 months every summer in KW. It is my happy place. It is a very friendly non judgmental place. My dog loves it there. She is always welcomed everywhere and restaurants often give her snacks. If you are more mature go to LA te da. Great bar, good food and dancing some notes of the week. Go to Peppes for breakfast. Unknown fact for tourists. If you like thrift stores go to the Salvation Army thrift store. Great and varied things from clothing to collectibles and cheap. I walked out with my winter wardrobe for under ⁵⁰ dollars. Bought some antiques and gifts. Also go to Aids memorial. It is on a long pier with predominant locals. Have fun. Be friendly.
Amen on the accommodations. The amount of days I spent here without spending a ton of $$ are much higher than the expensive ones. You can survive just fine here on a limited budget
I tried conch the 1st time I was in Key West. It was like trying to eat rubber bands. However, key lime pie is stellar. I've been known to refuse chocolate for key lime. Also enjoyed staying at Casa Marina. Lovely place.
Key West is the best place I have ever been to. Live the airport. We stayed at the southernmost beach resort on the east side of Duval. Loved it. We could enjoy the busy part of Duval then go back to a quieter part to relax. Loved there was a bus to take you around the island during season. It is free. No driving or parking. Food was amazing. We always ate off the beaten path. Awesome. We did all the tourist attractions. Loved taking a boat to the old fort and snorkeling. Then we did a sunset cruise one evening. Awesome feeling. Feel like you are at the edge of the earth. So much more to love. Definitely go. It is so worth it.
Above ALL……do NOT ask those business owners for change. You will be very UNPLEASANTLY surprised at their response…..🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮👎🏼
Don't go there
