On a recent trip to the upper Florida Keys, I decided to meet up with Claudia one of the founders of the Florida Keys twitter chat for a sunset. We selected the Bayside Grille in Key Largo. Located at mile marker 99.5, the location offers a restaurant upstairs and a more casual bar below. We […]

Three Favorites from the Upper Florida Keys

Three Favorites from the Upper Florida Keys

I visit the Florida Keys often and when I tell people they often respond with, “Oh, Key West.” No, not exactly.  The Florida Keys are more than Key West.

As I reached for my first […]

Sunset Sunday – Kayak in the Keys

by on March 28, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

Kayak. If you ever picked up a paddle and stroked the water to propel yourself forward to explore, then you know. You know that some of the best memories of your travels come from the adventures afloat. Whether the stillness of nature, the rapids of a river, or the majesty of nature that surrounds, you […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset Sail in Tavernier

by on February 22, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

The magic of a sunset seems to multiply on the water.  And when you climb aboard a sailboat, well that may just be the ultimate. During my time in the Florida Keys this month I discovered Sunshine Sailing in the upper keys (MM 94.5) and just yesterday Captain Jennifer MacLean, a women of (and) the […]
