On the Road Again!

I had a look on booking.com after I had planned a few trips out from when we are in Weston FL.  We do like to have a trip down to the Keys, but to go to Key West needs more time and also hotels are in the "sell a kidney" bracket.  Last time we went they weren't too bad. So I had a look along the Keys and booked at Marathon Key. Reasonable price and 8/10 star review, plus it has free cancellation and nothing to pay upfront.   So the plan is we can call in at the  Dolphin Research Centre  or  Theater of the Seas  on the way down as they are nearer the mainland.  We can decide that later. I stopped at the  Theater of the Seas  way back in 1991 when I was "doing" Florida on a Kawasaki Z750 factory custom twin.  I have a picture that I can look out where I was sadly cuddling a sealion!   So another bit of planning coming together as hotels starts to release their dates and room rates to the booking sites.

In 2014 when we were last in the south Florida area we had a few nights in Key West. We stayed in the Blue Marlin motel. A place that harks back to Hollywood of the 50's. I had a search around the net for a weekday or two during the second week we are away.  The Blue Marlin came out at £192 a night.  The lowest price anywhere in KW is £166. This is a night mind you.  Mmmmm. Maybe start to look for other places to visit during the Weston Week. We also like the Gulf Coast. April should be hurricane free so the choices should be pretty much as good or not better than when we have been in May and October. Gulp.  Back to the drawing board.
