And it’s been freshly renovated! They’ve model new gates and also you now not should get off on the tarmac.
Breeze Airways is including direct flights and so they even have seasonal direct flights to search for!

When you’re there, you ABSOLUTELY have to strive the sticky toffee pudding. TRUST ME!! I like a great Key Lime pie, however this dessert rivaled my prime favourite Key Lime pies (and that’s saying one thing coming from me).
One other excellent place for seafood was DJ’s Clam Shack. GET THE LOBSTER ROLL! You’ll thank me later. I want I might return proper now for the lobster roll.
You don’t even want to depart the resort to get unimaginable seafood. The lobster at Southernmost Seashore Café was scrumptious, and also you undoubtedly have to strive the Key West Paella. I counsel sharing the paella with a number of folks, nevertheless it’s so value it!

Our group even took first place together with a prize and bragging rights. We had a lot enjoyable with Amy once more that we begged her to squeeze in a conch blowing class together with her earlier than our flights out the following morning.
Amy additionally helps embody considered one of my different favourite issues about Key West, the folks and the Key West tradition. As a vacationer, it’s by no means enjoyable to really feel like a nuisance or undesirable by the locals.
Key West is small, so everybody is aware of everybody there, however they nonetheless love vacationers and you may undoubtedly really feel it. One of many greatest sayings/slogans on the island is “One Human Household.”
Even being there for a number of brief days, you begin to really feel how a lot the folks of Key West actually imagine that we’re all only one human household, irrespective of the place we come from, what we seem like, or what we imagine in.
It’s a wonderful approach to dwell.
