Key West and Bahama Cruise - Jan 2019


In Jan 2019, we had a nice hot weather get-away to Florida.  We spent 6 days on an economical and very relaxing Carnival Cruise and then spent another week in the Keys.


The drive through the keys was new to us.  We arrived in Marathon and checked in to our hotel late in the afternoon,  just in time for the sunset at Sunset Park

Duval Gardens B & B -  Great location, nice rooms and breakfast on the porch -  highly recommended

Dinner at Blue Heaven




We loved wondering around the side streets admiring the KeyWest homes and lush tropical gardens.  We couldn't get enough of these beautiful old homes and the quaint shady porches.
