To say I was desperate for a vacation is a pretty big understatement. FKGuy and I were stressed out and exhausted. We were thrilled to board the Seabourn Quest in Fort Lauderdale for a twelve night cruise. From the moment we were taken onboard, we knew we were in for […]
It is that time of year again. Tickets for Key West’s premier food and wine event are now on sale, and I have good news for you. Say it with me: Discount Code. That is right, the folks at the Key West Food and Wine Festival love Florida Keys Girl readers so […]
