Miami Beach / Key West ‘09
In February of 2009 I went to Miami Beach and Key West. Going from shoveling snow to laying on the beach and enjoying 80F weather was quite a shock but who can complain about it ? Not me ! Our 5-day itinerary was packed with places to see, photograph, and dine. Night lifestyle is just as rich as what you get in NYC area. Lots of bars, restaurants, lounges etc !
4-hour drive to Key West was interesting but not something I would do again. Direct flight would be a must ! Sunset in Fort Zachary Taylor State Park was breathtaking. Mallory Square and Duval Street are probably the center of action and definitely key spots to visit.
It wouldn’t be a complete vacation if I didn’t capture sunrise. I was hanging out on the beach at 5am in total darkness with a cup of freshly brewed Starbucks coffee, sporadically checking iPhone’s VelaClock app, and listening to music - priceless !
