Liz and Justin: World Explorers
Key West
Key West, Florida
Day 1:
Landed at the Fort Lauderdale airport.
Seeing each other for the first time at the airport :)
Went to Fort Lauderdale and had a couple beers at the table on the sidewalk. At the Red Dog Cantina. You cried because you missed me.
We went back to your house and ate shrimp scampi with Alyssa. Then we made out in the laundry room and talked about how we missed each other. Then we made love for the first time in over two months.
Went to Panama Hatties and had a couple drinks. Sat on the dock and talked.
Then we went to the beach and I grabbed you some seashells. Then we fooled around :)
Went back home and fooled around some more.
Day 2
We woke up a little later than we would have liked but we got on the road around 9:30.
We tried to find a tent on craigslist. No dice. Then we went to Coral Bagels and met the old man that told us about Pepe's.
Then we drove straight through to the keys. I almost rear-ended someone staring off at the ocean.
We got to Key West and immediately checked in to the Not Your Average Hotel (NYAH). The room had twin beds set up in a peculiar way. Nice hotel.
Then we went to the overpriced bike shop and went and had $1.50 yuenglings at pepe's.
We went back to NYAH and changed and chugged a glass of wine before heading off to the sunset cruise.
We met Phil, John and their wives in line when I thought I may have screwed the pooch on booking the cruise.
We boarded the boat and met up with the old couples again. We met them on the front of the boat and drank and talked with them.
Then we went upstairs and danced and talked to as many people as we could. The older woman told us that we were "the cutest couple"
We got off the boat and went and had a drink at a bar by the dock. Then we got in an argument which we made up for at 4am the next morning.
We made love in your twin bed.
Day 3
UP EARLY!! at around 6am we started walking to the pier to watch the sunrise.
We investigated bike rentals and I solicited pot from the convenience store clerk. You were impressed :)
We then went and saw the Southernmost Point in America. Then Shaquille dropped us off a gift right on the side of the road. Thanks man.
We then walked to the hostel where we thought we might stay and elected to go eat at Pepe's instead. We actually wound up eating at Harpoon Harry's. We shared a seafood omlette with a side of bacon and bloody mary's. We then went and rented scooters, though Liz was reluctant. We went to the same pier/beach and saw a old man who was wearing a European d*** Holster for a bathing suit.
I went to see if Liz could get in the adjacent seaside bar in just her bikini. While I was doing that, Liz went and checked out the d*** holster guy. Sure enough. d*** holster.
We drank a drink at the bar and headed off on the scooters to the Key West Cemetery. I told Liz about Free-Masons as there were tons of masonry symbols on the tombstones.
We then went and checked in at the Westin hotel, right on the water and got a GREAT deal on it for a last minute reservation. We went back to the car and grabbed our belongings on the scooter.
We then went back down to duval street and ate chips and salsa at a mexican restaurant. Our first stop after that was "The Bull Bar." This bar is a nude bar. We did not know that. We met a 40 something year old man who didn't know the male deer had antlers. We also saw some naked old people. We then went on to Cowboy Bill's and had a beer. After Cowboy Bill's we went to the Little Room jazz bar and had two OUTSTANDING margaritas. We talked to the bar tender who had moved his family out to the keys on (what seemed to be) a whim. After the Little Room we picked up the scooters and went to a seafood happy hour at the A&B Lobster house. Liz talked with an older woman who was traveling alone. We left there and drove the scooters back to the hotel and walked over to the Hog's Breath Saloon and listened to a local duo play. They knew our song, "In Spite of Ourselves." After I yelled it out and they decided to play it, we danced to the applause of the crowd. At the end of the dance, I dipped you and kissed you in front of everyone and the crowd cheered loudly.
Then we went back to the hotel where I tried to make you throw up. No success. We then went to bed.
Day 4
We woke up around 830 and got a late check out. We grabbed the scooters and went to the Key West Lighthouse, the Ernest Hemingway House then to Duval street to track down a $170 pillow. We drove the scooters around the entire island and got them back just in time. We ate lunch at a seafood market. Lobster Roll. Then we got back in the car and headed home. We stopped at the Mexican place right as we were leaving.
We then tracked into the Key Deer National Park and walked around and saw some Key Deer in the woods. I really wanted to make love to you in the woods. We got back in the car and headed to the No Name Pub and had a couple tap Yuenglings and some conch chowder.
Then we drove back Palm Beach Gardens.
We went straight to Guanabana's Restaurant and had Kalik's and listened to the raegae band. We laughed and flirted with each other at the bar.
Then we went back to Liz's.
Day 5
We woke up around 730 and went to get Cuban coffee and breakfast.
We went back to Liz's and made love, napped and made love again. We ate lunch at 5 guys burgers then drove to the airport. Liz dropped me off around 3.
