Hey Dudes and Dudettes!
Greetings from Key Largo! We just arrived a couple of hours ago and I thought I’d do a running trip report while we are here.
First, if you ever decide to drive from Northeast Atlanta suburbs to Key Largo, just beat yourself in the head with a 2x4. With I-85 having a big ‘ol whole right in the middle of downtown it took us 2 hours (seriously) just to get out of Atlanta. We had grandiose ideas of diving the whole way but by the time we hit Gainesville I was weaving and getting sleepy. So we stopped and got a few hours sleep.
Checked into the Key West Inn. Totally worth it! As has been said, not the most modern. But I am setting on our screened in porch looking onto the canal as I write this. Last time we were here we stayed at the Hampton Inn. This is soooo much better if you want extra room and excellent views. We went to Publix (about a mile away) and loaded up on supplies, Breakfasts and lunches for the duration. We plan on sampling the local places for dinner (we have morning dives at RR every morning). There is a liquor store in the same plaza so we grabbed a bottle of Skyy for the room. We saved some extra money so we may do an afternoon dive with another op just to get a taste of something different.
More to come later!
