Winter 2013 Trip to Key West and the Everglades

The first trip that will be included in this blog is our winter 2013 visit to Southern Florida.  We will depart our home in Milton, WV on the morning on Monday, January 28 and will return on the afternoon of Monday, February 4.
We were able to secure flights on Allegiant Air for a little over $50 each from Huntington, WV to Ft. Lauderdale, FL.  We are renting a car from Enterprise using a great discount through the Marshall University Alumni Association.
We will drive from Ft. Lauderdale to Key West where we will spend a few days enjoying the scenery and visiting Ernest Hemingway's home and hopefully seeing the famous polydactyl cats.  We also hope to visit Sloppy Joe's Bar, frequented by "Papa" while in the area.
From Key West, we hope to make our way up the Keys stopping at several of the many State Parks and local attractions.  We will spend a few nights in Florida City, FL that will provide us access to highways leading to Everglades National Park.
If possible, we will post a blog entry for each day's activities that include photos as possible.
