Google Image fun again!

Damn, it's cold here (and outside, too!) and since the Roommate and I are going to Key West in less than 3 weeks, I thought I'd google image Key West. Here's what we're in for; thought I'd share so you could virtually enjoy the sun and also feel good and jealous at the same time.

This is the southern most point on the contential United States (duh, it's right there on the lable) and a favorite photo op for tourists. Since I first went to Key West ages ago, I've already done that gig, but since this will be the Roommate's first trip, I will be sure to drag him here for a photo.


I love quaint old lighthouses (and as luck would have it, Oregon has tons of them. Only this time of year they're a little on the soggy side).

Last one in the water is a rotten egg! And possibly shark bait! Ooops, don't mention that last part to the Roommate; I have a feeling he'd be more open to the idea of rotten eggs.


Every evening the sunset is celebrated on Malory Square---street performers, cocktails and lots of people watching the sun dip into the Gulf. If you listen closely you can hear it sizzle.


Ah, we'll be seeing (and lounging on) some sandy beaches!

But what we won't be seeing is any of this nonsense. Hurricane season ends as of next week, so it should be smooth sailing for us. Fingers crossed.

Nothing like google image for a free virtual vacation. And no need for sunscreen! Only problem is I'm still cold. And still here.

Have a good weekend! Our gang will be going out to watch Storm tomorrow evening and it should be a grand weekend over all. Keep warm and dry!

Post script.....

The internet lies. I google imaged Portland, Oregon because I wanted to start this post off with a soggy, rainy, cold photo of what it's usually like this time of year and after weeding through 36 pages of indoor shots or outdoor shots of sunny, blue skys, I gave up. I guess truth is bad for tourist business. Then again the sun's out today, so maybe google knows that. Mental note, check again on a rainy day.

I'm jealous of you going to Key West. Should be good fun in the sun.
As always before you travel, I'd like to ask you to be safe, remember you're not on your home turf, and try to stay out of jail.
Oh, and come back not so...I don't know...what's the word...um...bitchy?
(All said from the heart...meaning well...it's all about the love....)
