Our Pre-Trip Trip

1/23/2021

If you are new to my trip reports, WELCOME!  Also, you should know that sometimes we have a trip planned for months, then Rob gets his schedule and we decide to go on the vacation a little early (like in 2019 when we added 2 days to our Hawaii trip at the last minute).  The same was true in January of 2020 when we were all set to go to Curacao.  

The original plan was to meet up with our traveling companions in Miami for 1 night before flying to Curacao.  Well... it was cold.  And Rob had the time off.  We decided to add a night in one of our favorite places on Earth, Key Largo!! (Read about a previous trip to Key Largo here). So the new plan was to fly to Fort Lauderdale, rent a car, drive to Key Largo, spend a day there, drive back to Miami to meet our friends, then fly out the next day to Curacao.  Whew.

Don't they look so grown up with their roller bags? I bought them right before this trip and now they are gathering dust.

Dinking Prosecco at 10 am.

We were return guests at the Key Largo Courtyard, so we got these white chocolate and key lime sandals. I ate them both and I'm not sorry.
The day we arrived we spent most of our time in the pool and hot tub, then we had dinner at The Key Largo Conch House.  We have only been to the Keys in the January/February time frame and this place is always empty, although I've heard it can have a long wait during the season.

Do I look tired? I think I look tired.

Key Lime Pie is better in the Keys. Scientific fact.

The next day we lounged around the hotel for a bit and then went to John Pennecamp State Park.  Oh, and we have this picture of Anne from a previous stay at the hotel where she is next to a baby palm tree.  We tried to recreate it!

Anne and her tree, 2020 Is it the same tree? Let's just say it is.

It may not be the best beach in the world, but this right here will fill your soul.

For such an extremely short stay, we could only hit up 2 of our favorite restaurants in Key Largo.  Dinner at the conch house, and lunch at the Key Largo Fishery before we drove to Miami.

And then it was time to drive to Miami, where we were staying at the Sheraton by the airport and meeting up with our friends!
