After discovering the Keys in my 20’s, I fell in love with everything about it. In the winter it’s almost always the warmest place in the US, in the summer it is NOT the hottest and actually about 10 degrees cooler than much of mainland Florida. The snorkeling, diving, fishing, boating, and sand bars are of the most amazing in all of my travels. Add to that all the modern conveniences we’re used to in the US!
