like a local! 4
Not exactly
perfect! Well, Key West is approximately
50 miles from Marathon. That’s a really
long bike ride, even if it is mostly flat!
I knew about the bus between Marathon and Key West but it stops running at
6pm. http://www.keywestcity.com/egov/docs/1340128616_843200.pdf
Salt Water
Conchs said additional shuttles will run till 2am. The regular fare is $4.00; and seniors $1.50
till 4pm. After 4pm the fare is a flat
$10. The bus is still a bargain – 100
miles for $11.50 each – can’t beat it! The
bus stop is a block away from the marina in Marathon and stops right at Mallory
Square, in Key West! http://www.sunsetcelebration.org/
Getting better and better but not exactly PERFECT!!!!!
Five years
ago we attended a 3 day convention for Parrot Heads http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrothead known as ‘The Meeting of the Minds’ http://www.examiner.com/article/parrot-heads-flock-to-key-west-for-annual-meeting-of-the-minds-convention
with
Captain Steve’s friend; Neil Knight, from Kenny, Pennsylvania. YES, we are both card carrying members of
Jimmy Buffet’s Parrot Heads. And YES, they
do have conventions!! To be perfectly frank the word convention, used
in conjunction with Parrot Heads and Key West just does not fit - I don’t
think; kinda like an oxy moron. After
attending, I referred to the event as ‘Spring Break for Senior Citizens!’ I think that the term sums up the event and
most of the attendees accurately and most appropriately! I am confident that the majority of the attendees would be
flattered by this lable! So we were some
what (OK I admit VERY) familiar with bars in the Mallory Square and Duval
Street area! We also knew Sloppy Joe’s
Bar is located just a few blocks from Mallory Square!
Captain
Steve and I agreed to leave about 10am, enjoy the day in Key West and see if we
could last till midnight!
Now this is
PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sea u
later. Party like a local! 5
