tampa and st pete were good to us. the don cesar is a pretty nice place. you should look it up. i have included pictures somewhere in the entry. we made it down to guy harvey's island grill in marco island thursday evening. i think. they have panthers in their city! check out the warning sign. in texas is would be a deer, not a giant cat that will eat you. from there we drove through the everglades and a little stretch of heaven called "alligator alley". we found out from friends you are not advised to drive through there at night. we did it at around 11:30pm. needless to say, no alligators, and we made it. stayed in ft lauderdale thursday night and took care of the stores that were closed on sunday and monday. unfortunatley one was closed so that has thrown a slight wrench in our trip planning. we saw lebron james in key biscayne. highlight for sure. his ferrari in very nice.
our great friends craig and becca hill were in the florida keys and invited us to stay the night with them in key largo. this was perfect since we had two stops in key west. tourist heaven by the way. tony and i made it to the southern most tip of the u.s. , and were happy to see the navy was protecting the marker. while having lunch i got to see a couple of manatees! what a joy for me. i use to play with manatees when i was younger hanging out with my dad. side note, the speed limit in the entire stretch of the florida keys is 45 mph. not cool. it did however allow more time to see the beautiful water colors.
we ended up back in miami at the lincoln center. mucho dinero flying around that place. after playing what seemed to be an endless game of labrinth in miami, we ended up in a sweet hojo on the 8th floor that my darling wife hooked up. i highly recommend getting AAA. discounts galore. the police sirens are nice touch. thanks miami dade.
oh yeah. bentleys, range rovers, benzes, etc. they are like honda civics here in miami. the lambo was a sweet touch.
enjoy the pics.
Where did you guys eat in Key West? We love that place and there are such good places to eat that its hard to decide!!! So, you made it to the Southernmost Point - pretty cool, huh?
