“Natives of the Florida Keys often refer to themselves as Conchs, and for good reason: They have been drinking.”

― Dave Barry

I am not a Conch.  I have never lived in the Keys - but I have been a regular visitor for longer than I can remember.  Started with long weekends - where my brother & I would be out until the bars close (do they close?) - weeks with the family and now with children.  The Keys aren't for everyone, but if it gets in your blood - there is no shaking it.

Over the years, I seldom recommend the Keys to others.  Its a place I share with the other crazies that have found it and fell in love.  But if someone asks me for advice... well then, I have a ton of it.  So I've decided to start this place, I hope it helps some discover the best of a place I love.
