My friend worked at KW Handprint as a printer while her husband served. The first night we went to dinner somewhere in town and then to the Chart House, then to Greene Street and the Parrot.

I did run across JB several times there, even got to hang out a couple of times, but nothing memorable for him I'm sure.
When I started dating my current and LAST husband, a hardened cop, I knew it wasn't gonna work unless he could love KW as much as I did. The first time I took him there, we were just there for the day (stayed at a friend's condo in Islamorada). Our car broke down in front of what is now Cafe Sole and the owners took us in for the night, made arrangements for our car to get towed to a locals' garage for repair and sent us off with a great breakfast. He was hooked!!! We've gone at least once a year since. Have found a fabulous B&B on William Street where we're always "welcomed home."
I could list an epistle of our Key's Disease symptoms, but suffice it to say, we hope that a cure is never found!
There is no cure.....once you have "it", well, it's too late!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing your story......

If you got to "just disappear" the Keys aren't a bad place to do so!!!!!
Seriously, as beautiful as the Pacific coast is, try to make it to KW at least once in your life.......

Thats where you leave the US and enter the Conch Republic. They even have their own semi-official passports.

Well, we just confirmed our second floor room at the Heron House and now it's only 94 days until we're conchin' out down in KW. I just read about the Schooner Wharf bar's morning happy hour: 7am-12. I think one symptom of Keys Disease that I will have is an insatiable desire for a cold beer at about 7:30 a.m...
