Here's what I can say without hogging the response. Treasure Island was great a definite repeat trip for the future. ...

Re: FL Keys / Key West
Headed to paradise on Tuesday. :D First trip. To say I'm ecstatic would be a great understatement. Dude have a fish sandwich at BO's, happy hour at Schooners Wharf, Sloppys and Hogs Breath just because. If you want someplace nice with alot of Buffett history swing by Louies and have some drinks on ...

Re: Florida's West Coast where should I go?
So, just thinking out loud here, but: The island (well cay) that Key West resides on runs roughly east/west. Old Towne is on the western side of the island and fronts the Gulf of Mexico.

Re: FL Keys / Key West

Re: Florida's West Coast where should I go?
We did it booked the Thunderbird for our trip this April. I liked the old school motel look and having a bar and resurant on the property. I also liked that there were so many resurant and bars within walking distance.

Re: Florida's West Coast where should I go?
I just checked out the Thunderbird website last night. Nice looking place I like the old school motel look like the places my family vacationed in the 70's and 80's when I was a kid. It looks like there is also a board walk out front. That's one big Beach too. I think I would need a rest just walkin...

Re: Florida's West Coast where should I go?
RIPH, I did and were considering staying at the Suntide Island Beach Club. I also checked out several of the resurants. I'm just putting this out there to see if something else really jumps out at me. The problem I'm having is I don't know what I'm looking for.
