Nice I’ve never been to Key West but it is on my list of places I want to visit. Hopefully someday.

We have a painting of the Green Parrot in our art collection and a copy of Smirk. Before it became the Green Parrot it was the Brown Derby Bar. Like the Red Doors, it has a rather shady history.
Here's a live cam of the bar. Enjoy. https://www.greenparrot.com/key-west-webcams/ . Have them call you from the bar and wave at you.

We did the jet-ski tour of Key West when my son was 4 years old, he was the youngest rider the tour company had ever seen. I caught him with his finger on the accelerator a few times during the tour, I was wondering why the jet-ski was accelerating faster than I wanted at times, lol. See the picture below. It was one of the most fun we ever had on a side excursion during our family road trip travels. We drove from Ontario Canada to Mile zero.

We also did a tour of Fort Jefferson which had the boat tour launch from Key West to the Dry Tortugas, also one of the best excursions our family ever took on our road trip travels.

I highly recommend both if you go to Key West.

I think it is Miller time!

Key West and New Orleans are two Southern cities on my bucket list to visit. For several years there has been a couple MGA owners from Michigan who have driven to Key West for an MG event. I would need 6 days just to get there in the MG.

I e-mailed my Dad yesterday and wished him a fun safe trip. His reply was "Thanks. It's a five and a half hour trip and my ass is sore already and we haven't reached Miami"
He is an old Irish guy with a bony ass, his words not mine lol.
