  • Luggage And Bags: My wife packed for a month like most women do, so she took the big duffle bag. however I just took my carry on suitcase

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: All I packed was 3 t-shirts, 3 pairs of cargo shorts, 2 bathing suits, 3 polo shirts, and a pair of sneakers, and a pair of docksiders, (underwear too) these outfits will get you into any restaurant in Key West.

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: I brought the basics, toothbrush/toothpaste, deodorant. There are a few Eckerds pharmacies and Big K-mart in Key West so if you forget anything no problem.

    Photo Equipment: I brought my Nikon 3100 digital camera with 3 sets of batteries and a 256 MB card

    there is a Ritz Camera in Key West and they develop film at Eckerds

    Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Bring sunscreen 30+ SPF

    I got burned up on the ride to Key West on U.S. 1in the convertible, so be careful.

    Miscellaneous: Make sure you bring your wallet. The drinks like Margaritas, Rum Runners, and Tropical Orgasms cost $6-7 each, and all the prices are higher during high season Jan-April.

     Excellent page! Brings back lots of wonderful memories of this funky town full of interesting characters. Wish I were in Maragaritaville right now.

     OMG... How funny is it that I also took a picture of snowy New England on my way to Florida this past March too? It WAS a brutal winter, huh? Oops, just realized that you went LAST winter. Well, it's ALWAYS so damned cold up here!
