I have been in Key West long enough that it is time to start adding some restaurant and activity updates. We’ve been to Onlywood several times, including once this week. I was sick with a bad cold, but did not want to cancel plans we’d had for weeks, plus, it […]

You know how I love to give you stuff, just because you swing by and read my blog? Well, it’s that time of year again! The 2015 Key West Food and Wine Festival promises to be better than ever, with a whole bunch of dinners, brunches, seminars and exclusive events. […]
