This past week my travels took me down to Islamorada in the Florida Keys where I own a timeshare the second week
of November each year. I was joined by friends from Pittsburgh, Pa. and Charlotte, No. Carolina and we enjoyed
the most fabulous places in the Keys such as Cheeca Lodge in Islamorada, Little Palm Island and Key West, Key
Largo and Tavernier. We dined on Shrimp steamed in Beer at the Castaways in Marathon and Lobster Rolls and
PT109 specialty drinks at Little Palm Island. We enjoyed Old Tavernier Restaurant for dinner and Made to Order in
Tavernier for a delicious breakfast. Dinners at Cafe Largo in Key Largo, Lazy Days in Islamorada, lunch at
Overseas Kitchen and a comedy show in Key Largo called ” In Bed With The Butler” in Key Largo. I also did some
great shopping in Key West as well. We enjoyed a pot luck dinner with 5 of our friends. We also attended a Live Auction of drug dealers seized assets where one of my friends bought three very expensive pieces of jewelry, emeralds and ruby necklaces and bracelet as well as a signed Tarkay piece of art. What a fun week.
