I update the list when ever someone says that they are coming.

At the risk of getting hit over the head by my better half, maybe you should update my listing to read "Craiger (+ wife)."

and so little time to save up liquer money

Craiger · Post by **Craiger** » August 25, 2004 1:05 pm

Heres a quick question:

Due to the fact that booze (both at the bars and from the liquor store) is so pricey in Key West, I'm trying to find a good method for bringing a bottle or two from home (At places like the Duval street party and the beach at the Casa, I'm inclined to mix my own).

I know some folks who ship their booze to their hotel ahead of time. I also know that some pack it in their luggage. Does anyone else have any recommendations?

yeah, tell me about it. although if I go only for the Guinness, that cuts down on the need to eat..

If you're flying into Lauderdale or Miami and driving down, here is a liquor store at the start of the keys that has reasonable prices - you won't get raped. You may want to just stop there on the way down.

If you're flying into Key West, I would recommend you just pack it with you. But pack carefully, last year my friend packed a bottle of rum in his bag, and not so carefully. It broke - so he spent the first afternoon doing laundry all day. It was scary!

Shipping can be a bear, some states and some carriers frown on transport of liquor across state lines. Packing it in the luggage is probably the best way to go, although it means you will automatically be checking your bags and hoping it makes it thru the carousel in one piece.

Personally, I would say it would be easier to pick it up in Miami (if you are flying there), and transporting it the last 180 miles.

I'm considering packing it in the luggage I check (unless the airline regualtions don't allow it). I know a few different companies (Captain Morgan comes to mind) have plastic travel bottles, so that might be the way to go.

Hell, I'll take it in my carry-on bag if I need to.

what is the name of the place? and is it visible from A1A?

There are a few others going to MOTM.

I am pretty sure King Parrothead is going.

I know I am going along with a friend of mine.

Driving down 95, whenit ends in Florida City and start heading down the key, it's on the right hand (west) side of the road just before the turn off for the road to Alabama Jacks. You have to watch for it because there's some trees there and if you blink you might miss it. I can't recall the name of it, but it's a liquor store attached to a shady looking bar.

You can also go to the PUBLIX in Key West, on the airport side. That is usually our first stop before checking into the hotel.

Since I'm driving down, hauling liquer won't be a problem.
Just buy it befor I leave

Nifty! I didn't know there was a Publix down there. Do they sell the hard stuff? I seem to remember seeing wine & beer in their other stores...

I'm a Martini guy, so I gotta have my gin!

chgoparrothead26 · Post by **chgoparrothead26** » August 26, 2004 11:13 am

Well now, now. I think you are correct regarding hard liquor. I think they only have wine and beer.

Looks like you will be hitting the store in Florida City.

I can't wait for the drive down with the top down. I hope the weather is better than it has been in Chicago this summer.

Beer and Wine only at Publix. They are located on the west side of the island near K-mart
