Why didn't we hit the road earlier!

Well we've been in Key West for a week now and wow what a fabulous place to be this time of year. The crowds are moderate and no long lines for dining or other activities. It's a little chillier (60's & 70's) as the cold snap is everywhere across the U.S. I still can't believe how different life seems being retired. Weird to do nothing if that's what you desire. Connie says I am getting better at it day by day.

My military retirement benefits are paying off now. A trip this week to the "Southern Most Point" and an evening at Mallory Square was very relaxing. Yesterday we went to a Cuban restaurant for dinner and took in a movie afterwards, Gran Torino w/ Clint Eastwood, it was very good.

The street performers on Mallory Square are very rude and funny, that's just their way. As they say everybody needs a gimmick. Sometimes, as the crowd goes crazy watching the sun go down I think the entertainers want equal credit! Don't they wish!!
