Friday In Key West

We made it to Key West Wednesday. What a trip - started with a 3am wake up and driving to O'Hare for a 6am flight to Ft. Lauderdale. Renting the car was a real trip - had to wait in a long long long line to be taken by bus to the car rental section. After that, it was easy. Make sure you have reservations - otherwise you have to que up in long lines. We had reservations from Alamo and it was pretty painless. Then off on the drive. It was beautiful, but I was sleepy - and poor Alan had to do the entire drive himself. We were checked in by 3pm and are enjoying Marrero's. I will write more on them later.

Wednesday night we were confused by the songwriter signs and missed the opening session with James Slater but enjoyed the sunset festivities on Mallory Square. We stopped by the "The Great Rondini" (www.thegreatrondini.com") and he picked Alan to chain up his hands. I, of course, forgot the camera cable and will have to post pictures later.

Thursday was spent listening to bands and visiting stores and just seeing Key West. Friday at 130pm we have eaten at B.O.'s Fish House and are resting by the pool. We have reservations to the Writer's Room at the Hogsbreath tonite. So we are trying hard to get a tan or burn to come home with.

Will write more later - I need to pitch myself into the pool to get away from the bees. (Alan swears it's a fly). Ta-ta for now.

Love,
Lorene
