Oh, it'll be fun, and the drive down to the keys will be fun, too! I've got a good friend with a house on Cudjoe Key, right on the canal. He retired a few years before I did, and spends half the year here and half the year there.
As I sit here drinking a cup of Yorkshire tea, remembering when we camped for a week in Bahia Honda State Park on Big Pine Key, diving Key Largo and Key West, I wonder if that Asia All-You-Can-Eat restaurant is still open in Key West. I wouldn't mind pigging out on crab legs. That, along with spending time exploring the Everglades, is what I like about So. Florida. You can keep the rest. The topography is too flat, the roads too damn straight, and you can't get a good cup of tea anywhere! I'm bringing my own this trip!

Enjoying a cup of mocha cappuccino.

Stichawl, how exciting! I remember the glades totally surprising me. I swear the size of the insects gave me nightmares. A guide took us through the glades on his boat and out to his house in the middle of the glades. The place was surrounded by those big floating water plants, alligators, and BIG bugs! There is no way I would have stayed there at night (well, not during the day either) and he had lived there for years. I don't even know how he found his way in or out of the place.

The Keys are more civilized and have great food.

I hope you both have a great time and get to scuba.

We try and spend time in the Everglades and the Keys every time we get to Florida. As I said before, it's the only thing I like about being there. I really enjoy photographing the wildlife in the Everglades (though not the bugs) and would be more than happy to spend a few weeks camping there.

Finishing up my cup of oolong tea.
**whispers that it's a tea bag**

Beautiful pic, Stitchawl . I'm not fond of camping out anymore, especially if crawly things are around. I've developed into a hotel and room service type. If I had to, I could pack camp again, but only if I had to now.

I remember an out of the way restaurant in the everglades, where we ate outside on the deck. It was expected of the customers to throw the uneaten parts of solid food over the rail into the water (no desserts or fruit). The alligators would hang out for all the pieces thrown in. It was scary how high some of them could jump.

I am about to have second cup of tea.

Something new. A free sample I received in the last tea parcel.
Nepal Shangrilla SFTGFOPI Autumnal?
Loose Black Tea.
Quote:
This excellent autumnal tea captivates with its tiny leaves displaying a greater number of tips, resulting in a bright golden infusion and fruity pollen-like sweet aroma. It has a mature (thank heavens, not manure) and full-bodied flacour with hints of fresh peach and ripe banana.
Doesn't sound very tasty. We will see in a few minutes.

My gut feeling didn't let me down.
Don't like the tea.
Off to the rubbish bin.

I need something to erase this taste from my mouth.
Third cup of tea.
Mate coconut milk.

Lime juice, lemon juice, a tablespoon of sugar, ice, and water. This is SOUR!

Wow, that's a great shot. What kind of camera did you use? Christmas is coming and I'm in the market.

Thanks! It was shot with a Nikon D200 with an f/2.8 28-70mm VR lens at -1exp. For some reason it doesn't look as sharp here as it does on my computer. Something about ImageShack, I guess. I almost took it down!

Tequila plus Lime juice, lemon juice, a tablespoon of sugar, ice, and water. This is SOUR! But really, really gooooood.
