Dear All Greetings once more from my Floridian travels. This one relates my adventures on the intriguing chain of islands dripping off the end of the Florida peninsula, known collectively and very famously as the Florida Keys. I had an amazing time island-hopping down there, using the interconnecting and quite spectacular Overseas Highway, and driving the coolest rental car possible for such an a... Read Full Entry

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

Alex returns from Florida tanned!
Florida is good for the soul as it provides so much vitamin D. Down here we refer to it as Vitamin Sea! I can picture you driving through the Keys with the top down, smelling the salt air and enjoying the water surrounding the highway. Plugged into Miami Vice as you drive Biscayne Bay, North and South Beach.... you've seen it all. I smiled at you shopping at Walgreens and take out with the Colonel... indeed finger licking good. I love the sea turtles and I'm glad you had time to add them to your trip. I try to educate everyone on our turtles. I'm sorry your snorkeling was cancelled but you found a great replacement. Mentally I'm making a list of things to show you on your return! Keep traveling'. MJ

Vitamin Sea
Lol, I love that! I definitely enjoyed the fresh air and the sun whilst in Florida! The Keys was just an amazing Road Trip, I will always remember my drive along the Overseas Highway! Thanks for the Turtle Hospital recommendation 😊 The US version of KFC was indeed as I'd remembered it. I think my snorkelling cancellation experience has confirmed that it is something I'll hopefully be able to try again. I'm looking forward already to a revisit! As you always say - so much to see, so little time! We'll surely keep travelling. Friends forever 😁

Oh so cute
That is a very cute deer. I'd love to see one of those. And to do that I have to go to Florida Keys. We did not go there when we were in Florida. But I had a feeling that it was a place worth visiting. You have now shown me that it is a place I would absolutely love to go to. It looks so cool. /Ake

Cute
Aw, yes, the mini-deer of the Keys were very cute, the adults were baby-sized! It was definitely worth visiting the Keys during my time in Florida. Thanks for reading and commenting Ake! :D

Key Largo
When I hear "Key Largo" I always think of that Humphrey Bogart/Lauren Bacall movie of the same name (it wasn't filmed there though). The turtle hospital sounded great, and those key deer are so cute! Glad to hear they are working at preserving them.

Key Largo
Ah, I thought there was a film of that name, but didn't look into it - thank you for confirming, I shall look out for it! Yes, I loved the turtles and key deer, definitely a highlight of the Keys for me :) Thanks for reading Lori :)

Florida Keys
How cool is Florida Keys. I love how quirky Duvel Street appears. Shame about the Key Deer but great to see they're making a gradual comeback. That Key Lime Pie looks amazing 😍

Florida Keys
Cool is the perfect word to describe the Florida Keys! Driving them was just amazing, with the top down and the music playing. Great memories. The Key Deer were special, Duval Street indeed very cool, and the Key Lime Pie delicious 😋
