There was a mandatory evacuation of our Tourists on Friday, September 5th and of residents on Saturday September 6th.  Some guests in the Keys wonder why we do this……well we’ll tell ya.

On Friday, the track of Ike showed the possibility of the center of the storm over the 7 mile bridge as a category 4 storm possibly hitting as soon as Sunday.  That would have been devastating.  Not only do we want to ensure the safety of our visitors, let’s be honest, we need you off the road when we need to get out! 

In all seriousness, the Florida Keys and Key West have been dealing with Hurricanes for many years.  Our Tourist Development Counsil is one of the best and has put together a great plan to keep everyone safe and informed.  You can find answers to frequently asked questions and more information here.

Again, we feel lucky that the storm stayed to the West of us and our thoughts and prayers are with those in Texas and the surrounding states that had a more devastating hit.

CHECK THE AIRLINES BAGGAGE RULES
Some airlines are compensating for the high fuel prices by charging for oversized bags.  Check your airlines restrictions and measure your bag before your go.  Most require a linear measurement which is length + width + height.

WEIGH YOUR BAG BEFORE YOU GO
Airlines are also offsetting high fuel costs by charging very high prices for overweight bags.  Check your airlines website for weight restrictions before you pack.

BRING A JACKET
Many pilots overcompensate for the heat in the summer by cranking up the air.  It may be 90 outside but feel like the arctic on the plane.

TIPS IF YOU ARE DRIVING

CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE
According to statistics provided by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Energy Information Administration, the Possible savings of avoiding under inflated tires is between $100.00 to $200.00 per year depending upon how much you drive and how under inflated your tires may be.

IF YOU’RE DRIVING WITH CHILDREN CHECK OUT PLACES TO STOP ALONG THE WAY
Long trips can be especially tough for children.  Taking breaks along the way can help.  Check out our Fl Keys driving guide for places to stop along the way.

KEEP A STEADY PACE
Sticking to the speed limit is not only safe but generally more fuel efficient.  Set your cruise control.  Slowing and speeding up takes more fuel that driving at a steady pace.

TAKE THE SCENIC ROUTE
Guess what, you have no choice.  The route to the Keys is the scenic route.  Take your time – stop and smell the sea air.  Take some photos and have some fun!

     Thank you for all the help and quick responses you gave me and my boyfriend. We throughly enjoyed our trip!! Duval Gardens was the PERFECT place for us…we loved the porch and being able to sit out there every night. The staff was also very helpful.  Getting to stay on the quiet end of Duval Street but being close enough to walk to everything was a great idea. Snorkeling with Segebo was the highlight of our trip…everyone was so friendly and the water was crystal clear!! Thank you again for all of your help!!

Just got back from Key West a few days ago. Wanted to say “Thanks!” for all of your assistance. We had a great time!  Beachside Resort was a great place to stay. Top notch! It was very spacious and the staff was courtious and friendly. The one-bedroom suite was perfect for 2-people.  We could have stayed there all summer!
 
Thanks again for everything. I will be booking future trips with you for sure!

I can not thank you enough for planning the perfect vacation for us.  Your attention to detail was second to none!  The room was perfect, the sunset sail was beautiful, and our day deep sea fishing was the best ever.   We’ll definately call you when planning our next trip to the Florida Keys!”

  Happy Father’s Day Dad.

Yep, it’s a concert underwater held July 12th  It’s a quirky concert broadcast underwater for divers, snorkelers and the occasional mermaid emphasizing reef preservation. The submerged songfest is held at Looe Key Reef in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
Along with local favorite musicians, the playlist ranges

from humpback whale songs to the Beatles “Octopus Garden” and Jimmy Buffett’s “Fins”.  Messages promoting preservation of the Florida Keys’ unique coral reef ecosystem are incorporated with diver awareness announcements offering tips on how people can enjoy the ocean while minimizing the impact on the reef and overall marine environment.   All this is broadcast underwater via Lubell Laboratory speakers. 
People can divie or snorkel and just enjoy the sights and sounds of the Underwater Music Festival.

We’ll be offering our sandals, belts, and wallets at great prices next month too. Look out for the email and shop for Father’s Day.
