I could also title this Why I Like Underwear. I am not a curmudgeon, a prude or a stick in the mud. I like to have fun as much as anybody. Really, I write a travel blog – that means I travel. A lot. For fun. That being said, let […]
The Florida Keys Girl has been a little busy shuttling back and forth from the mainland to Key West to the mainland and back to Key West. That was just the last two days. Stay tuned next week for more adventures. (This week does not qualify as an “adventure” so […]
