Any BNers ever stay at one?????
Yes Ed, Doc & Jeanie and Tom and I have been renting Truman Annex condos for the last 2 years. And already have a townhome in the Annex rented for this years MOTM. They're beautiful, comfy, clean and convenient to every thing!!! I would highly recommend them!
NEO and Flipflopgirl also stay in the Annex as well as Tropic Al (RIP) and his family.

Speaking of KW, our local news just showed coverage of Hemingway Days and the winner of the look a like contest.

Very true! Was barely awake when the story was on, but I think they said the winner had been trying for 5 years and had been unsuccessful.

Well I am bored at work. (And to make matters worse, it is a tad before 8 A.M. )
So I counted the days.
Only 50 days to go until me and the Mrs land at EYW.
I should be excited but it seems a long time AND close to 30 hours of travel....
The fish sandwiches better be worth it.

We just returned from Hemingway Days. Whew!!! Damn too much fun! Here is a link to some pics taken by Mile Zero Magazine. Our neighbor, Aaron, is in the 3rd pic and in the 59th pic. Enjoy!

Just booked our next trip to Key West......7 nights at the Truman Annex mid-April 2012!
Wish it could be sooner, but at least we have something to look forward to and get us through the Pennsylvania winter!

Always thinking of others........what an admirable trait!!!!!! While you're at at go ahead and have 2 for me, OK????
Like you, if I don't have a KW trip planned, well, I'm not in the best of spirits!
