TRAVEL
GETAWAY TO KEY WEST
TRAVEL WITH SOMEONE YOU TRUST®
TM
To its rocky shores, sandy beaches and weathered homes reminiscent of a coastal New England town, Key West adds another feature: its subtropical climate, which nourishes lush vegetation, especially palm trees, hibiscus and bougainvillea. Ship carpenters, using wooden pegs instead of nails, built many of the older houses, which are predominantly Bahamian in architecture.
The southernmost city in the continental United States, Key West once served as a base of operation against pirates; today it is the southern terminus of the scenic Overseas Highway (US 1).
Home at various times to Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams and Robert Frost, Key West remains a popular retreat for artists and writers.
In Key West, you can drink like Hemingway, carouse like a frat boy and sing along loudly to Jimmy Buffett songs, and you’ll fit right in with the crowds who fill the Old Town clubs. The scene caters to those who like to party day and night.
ATTRACTIONS NOT TO MISS! Dry Tortugas National Park Ferry
Dry Tortugas National Park Ferry departs from the Key West Ferry Terminal at 100 Grinnell St. The ferry service offers a round-trip excursion to Fort Jefferson
aboard Yankee Freedom III, a high-speed catamaran with air-conditioned cabins and open decks.
Before returning to Key West, passengers spend 4.5 hours within the park during which they can swim, snorkel, bird-watch and take a 45-minute guided tour of the fort.
Conch Tour Train
Conch Tour Train leaves from 303 Front St. in Mallory Square. Step into a canary yellow open-air car shaded by striped awnings for a 90-minute, 14-mile tour through old and new Key West. Knowledgeable “engineers” regale passengers with humorous yet informative anecdotes about the island’s colorful history, architecture and local legends.
During the tour, the train passes by many local landmarks, including City Cemetery, Duval Street, the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, the Key West Lighthouse Museum, the Little White House Museum, Smathers Beach, and the Southernmost Point.
Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum
Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum is at 907 Whitehead St. Hemingway and his second wife, Pauline, moved into the 1851 Spanish Colonial-style
mansion in 1931, after her uncle helped them buy it. “For Whom the Bell Tolls” is the most widely known of the eight novels, several short stories and many poems written here.
