This is my last post on Key West, random photos of Key West sites and various things we did and places we visited….flying into Key West, the Southernmost Point, eating Key Lime Pie, riding the Key West Trolley, drinking coconut milk, riding bikes around town, and lovely sunset strolls…
The Southermost Hotel Collection is a beautiful establishment, that was a pleasure to stay in. We were delighted when we arrived as it was better in person than it appeared on-line. We had thought it looked nice on line, and once there, the friendly staff, the ocean breeze and the relaxed atmosphere brought a quality […]
If in your life you dreamed of living by the ocean in a little wooden beach shack, then Key West is where you can make that dream come true. The original area or ‘Old Town’ as it is known as, is adorable house, after adorable house. The streets are lined with wooden homes, each […]
Key West is a subtropical environment abundant with the flora and fauna unique to areas slightly above or below the tropic of Capricorn and the tropic of Cancer. Having grown up in a subtropical environment, I felt right at home amongst the frangipani, hibiscus and profuse boganvillia. Interestingly though, non of the flowers or trees on […]
When I started talking to Cam about planning a holiday, he said two things: “Somewhere warm, with a pool”. He then got much more specific with his wants, but to start with this was all he felt he needed to have a good holiday! After months of a cold long New York Winter, we were […]

The seaside town of Mystic is filled with Maritime history. As you stroll around the streets there are plaques on house doors to indicate the sailing captain that once lived there. There are old boats, old anchors and just about everything to do with the sea and life at sea. Including seafood. We ate at […]
After a long scenic drive we arrived at Mystic, CT. We had reservations at a historic building called the The Inn at Mystic. A luxury resort over looking the Mystic Harbour and Long Island Sound. The Children were so excite to be staying in a Hotel, Maya ran and jumped on the beds while Elle desperately […]
This time last week we were packing our bag to go and visit friends in Albany. It was our first time heading up state NY and the girls and I were very excited to hop on the train and get out of town. Maya kept saying, “Mummy, this is like going on a plane”. The […]
