... been thinking about Key West ...

We didn't take a vacation this year.
No family reunion in VA or NC.
No mountains or seashore.
Just work, work, work.
So, last night my darling husband and I said ... Key West.


Labor Day Weekend.
Vacation time we have to use by end of year.
So, why not a long weekend in Key West?
Where will we stay this time?
Let's see ... we stayed at The Bottle Inn B&B last year over Labor Day.
I stayed at the Casa Marina Resort for a work-related conference in 2007 and the place was under construction. It had just changed hands again, purchased by the people that own the Hilton or the Waldorf-Astoria (or maybe both!). I might like to return there. It's right on the water, with an actual beach where you can walk into the ocean AND a new pool that they were building in 2007. And, it's right around the corner from Louie's Back Yard, a really good restaurant at water's edge that's been there a really long time.
Maybe ... I'll have to talk to my darling husband.
We stayed at The Blue Marlin Motel in 2006.  Kind of a funky place, but clean and with lots of character. Vintage 1950s buildings that have been kept up. Close to the Southernmost Point and priced right.
Or, maybe, somewhere completely different.
Let's see ...
