Wouldn't you know it that I get moved to full hookups earlier than expected. And, I scored Front Row Hollywood #54! What's wrong with that you ask? We stay in hookups for only 2 weeks. Robin will only get 1 night here before we go back to dry.

Robin is home! Yippee. Going to Charlotte she was upgraded to First Class! Coming back she had a row by herself. Not bad eh?
21 March
Robin only got 1 night in our "Hollywood" site with full hookups. Today we move back to dry camp #412. The CG is emptying out as folks go home so we have plenty of room and probably will be here less than 2 weeks. We still have a water view out our rear view and from outside. Not too shabby.
24 March
Today we went to Mass at St Mary's LINK. I'll let Robin speak for herself but this is my favorite Catholic Church anywhere. The two Priests are awesome and give very meaningful and relevant homilies. AND, they rocket through Mass in 45 minutes! Great concise and well delivered messages. Oh, it is Key West and at least 50% of the congregants are in Key West Casual...shorts. The other reason is the architecture of the Basilica, Look on the link. White with light blue. All Basilica doors are open to the breeze, almost an outdoor Mass.
As is our custom we went to a restaurant for brunch and Bloody Mary's. Robin found a jewel, Blue Heaven. LINK Its the sister of our other fav, Salute. Over an hour wait on a Sunday but you do it in a beautiful garden, with a bar, with a band, and, a Physic! We enjoyed chatting with other folks waiting, including some French speaking from Martinique. My French sucks.

Back in January I posted pictures of the dry camp area where about 200 RV's were parked. There was no open space. Today, there are less than 70! The party is winding down. We depart 14 Apr. Here it is called "UTR" for Up the Road. There is only one road. US 1 to Miami.
27 March
Today we started out with lunch at what is probably our fav place here, Salute. We wrote about it earlier. Excellent food. Really good moules! LINK
Then we went to the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory LINK What a great place. Don't miss it if you're in Key West. Essentially a huge greenhouse loaded with plants, butterflies, birds, streams, etc. Really very magical. Lots of pictures because hard to catch a butterfly still. Yes Casey, I should edit them...one day. Most pictures have a butterfly or two in them...hard to see.

Noisy today because the Navy Blue Angels have arrived for this weekend's Southernmost Air Spectacular. LINK They are warming up a little today in the distance.
Tomorrow there will be a dress rehearsal. Since we're military we can watch it without the Sat & Sun crowds. Stay tuned.
29 March
We went to the Air Station and were able to watch the rehearsal from a nearby parking lot. Great fun. Hard to get pictures with a cell phone but here are some attempts.
31 March
And another month in Key West comes to an end. It was a great one. We went to Mass and then had lunch at a new place, Santiago's Bodega LINK. It is a tapas style place where you order multiple things to try new dishes. Most everything was wonderful. Excellent service. A bit on the pricey side but we went whole hog.
