Travel, particularly air travel, is no fun these days. From the banning of beverages to the fee frenzy, it is all very annoying, to say the least. It is because of these inconveniences, and the fact that schlepping large suitcases through foreign train stations sucks, that I began packing as […]

The Florida Keys Girl is off for a much needed vacation. I will be aboard the Seabourn Spirit visiting ports in Italy, Greece and Croatia. There will be a full update (over the course of many days) upon my return. Have no fear, I will still have posts at the […]
Every week for the past year I have asked my friend when he was going to take me fishing. Every time I ask the answer was always the same “When the wind is good”. I would ask “Well, when do you think the wind might be good on a weekend?” […]
Very few things surprise me. Every once in a while someone does something so egregious that it is shocking, but more often than not, things are just funny (like the woman who wore three not-s0-strategically placed drug store bows to Fantasy Fest). That was it. Three bows and some thigh […]

Last month, I wrote about Key Lime Pie from both Blond Giraffe and Kermit‘s. As you may recall, I am in the Kermit’s-is-clearly-better camp. Read the original post, and what others had to say about it here. I did leave off one very popular place in that review, the Key […]
