Begin the day with a ride on the glass bottom boat that plies the largest living coral reef off our coast(s). Next, it’s on down the Intracoastal Highway we go, the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. Arrive in Key West, the literal end of the highway, in late afternoon. Tonight, a glorious welcome dinner on the top floor of your hotel, the “Top of the Conch,” perhaps one of the most famous sunset watching spots in these United States.

Day 4 -6

From Hemingway to Tennessee Williams to Robert Frost, many famous artisans have called the Keys home. Dozens of ships were wrecked on its reefs. Visit the homes of two famous Americans, Harry Truman and Ernest Hemingway. Tour the area aboard the famous Old Town Trolley, stop in search of buried treasure at the Shipwreck Museum and visit the “Little White House,” frequented by presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Truman. Nature enthusiasts will enjoy the Butterfly & Nature Conservatory and the Key West Aquarium. Cruise along the shores of the island on an authentic Clipper Ship (you can opt out of this activity and receive a refund if you aren’t a “water” person). Walk to dozens of the shops, restaurants and attractions from your hotel.
Who doesn’t like to eat on vacation? How about lunch where the Sloppy Joe was invented, or a midday meal in one of the funkiest “joints” you’ll ever wander into? There’s a great Italian dinner, and a dinner and cabaret show in the Key West tradition you’ll never forget. Breakfast is included each morning at your hotel.

It’s time to leave our island paradise and head for home. Our return flight takes us through Miami and Dallas on the way back to Sacramento.
