33rd Annual Conch Republic Independence Celebration will be going on while we are there!

 Key West is a very busy place.  So if you think you may want to go, book now!!  Note the hotels cancellation policy.  If you wait to book this trip you will not be able to get a room.  Additionally, I have to book some of the events we are planning within the next couple weeks as they already have dates that are full.  However, I am going out of country for two weeks November 22nd, so I have to know by the morning of November 21st, who is doing the Snorkel and kayak tours, so I can guarantee the tours.
