Buh Bye for now, Key West! Our vacation was fabulo Buh Bye for now, Key West! Our vacation was fabulous! We got to enjoy so much. We played with the kitties at the Hemingway House, snorkeled with the sharks and fishies! We toured a ship and a fort. We shopped til we dropped and watched street performers play. We rode the wheels off our ebikes and walked until our dogs barked. We ate  and drank til the cows came home and roosters cockle doodle do’d.  So until next time KW, keep the sun shining and beaches glittering. We’ll miss ya! See ya in 2023! 🐠🌴🐋🏴‍☠️🐟🍷🦀🐈🐔🌞🌊@visitkeywest @keywest @boydscampground @gorving @winnebagorvs#keywest #floridakeys #florida #palmtrees #hemingwayhouse #islandlife #letsdoitagain #letsgo #gorving #winnebago #winnebagoview #rvlife #rvtravel #travel #rvblogger #rvcouple #rvliving #rvlifestyle #travelblogger

We’ve made it to the end of the road in Key West We’ve made it to the end of the road in Key West! We can say that we’ve been on both ends of Route 1 now! It’s been a heck of a ride in Key West! Logged over 100 miles riding while we were there. Our @lectricebikes were our main source of transportation getting to Key West from our campground on Stock Island and back with lots of miles between. . And we are super grateful for our @senabluetooth bicycle helmets as we were able to communicate without having to yell at each other. 🔚🔚🔚🔚🔚🔚🔚🔚🔚🔚🔚@keywest @visitkeywest @senabluetooth @boydscampground . #route1 #endoftheroad #keywest #keywestflorida #ebike #letsride #senahelmet #sena #bicycle #letsridebikes #rvlife #rvtravel #rvcouple #rvtravelers #usatravel
Whenever we see that beautiful red racing stripe, Whenever we see that beautiful red racing stripe, our hearts can’t help but to stop and admire those sleek white needles of death! ⚓️🇺🇸🛳♥️⚓️🇺🇸🛳♥️⚓️ While we were in Key West, we had to stop to pay our respects to the Coast Guard Cutter Ingham. ⚓️🇺🇸🛳♥️⚓️🇺🇸🛳♥️⚓️ A little about one of her  many important missions: INGHAM's largest search and rescue mission came in 1980 after Cuban dictator Fidel Castro opened the port of Mariel, Cuba, letting thousands flee the Communist island. After sailing south to reinforce the Coast Guard presence in the waters between Cuba and Florida, she immediately went to work saving lives. In late-April INGHAM towed five vessels and took on board 14 survivors from swamped boats as a storm battered refugee boats sailing from Cuba. On 11 July INGHAM rescued six Cuban men from a 15-foot wood and rubber raft 70 miles northeast of Havana and transferred them to the CGC Point Batan (WPB-82340). On 12 July 1980 she escorted two Cuban refugee vessels to safety in Key West: the 45-foot cabin cruiser Sea Grape with 100 refugees aboard and a 20-foot pleasure craft with two persons aboard. ⚓️🇺🇸🛳♥️⚓️🇺🇸🛳♥️⚓️ Though she’s decommissioned as an American military ship, she still continues to serve as an educational platform and museum in Key West. If you are down in the Keys, take a stroll to see how the hardened Coast Guard sailors lived aboard. ⚓️🇺🇸🛳♥️⚓️🇺🇸🛳♥️⚓️ The incredible history is one of the million reasons we love the Coast Guard we both served in. We, like our shipmates, feel a sense of pride like no other. ⚓️🇺🇸🛳♥️⚓️🇺🇸🛳♥️⚓️#coastguard #uscg #coastguardcutter #coastie #coastguardlife #realsailorsrealseastories #seastories@lectricebikes @visitkeywest @gocoastguard @coastguardheroes @uscg
Can you tell we had a great time snorkeling in the Can you tell we had a great time snorkeling in the Florida Keys? I mean, look at those huge ear to ear grins! 🐠🐬🦀🐡🐟🦐🐳🦑🦈🦞🐋 Thank you @furykeywest for the amazing time out on our sunset snorkeling 🤿 cruise! Out of all the days we could have chosen to go, we picked the best day to have calm seas and clear skies. But the show-stopper was our incredible underwater adventure with lots of fishies and sharks!! 🐠🐡🦈 The coral reefs we snorkeled lie about 7 miles offshore, are teeming with tropical fish, hard and soft corals, sponges, snails, jellyfish, anemones, crabs, lobsters, rays, sea turtles, nurse sharks, and other sea life. There are around 110 species of corals and over 500 species of tropical fish in our coral reef community. All species are interrelated and live in harmony. 🐡🐠🦈 There were tons of every species you could think of. And a couple 5’ Nurse Sharks swam literally right under our bellies!! And, we weren’t even scared! 🐠🐡🦈 Our adventure cost us a little over $100 for the two of us. It included the cruise, equipment (though we brought our own masks and snorkels), the beautiful sunset and lots of great beverages on our way back to port. Best that $$ could buy! 🐠🐡🦈 So, if you’re going to Key West, DO THIS!!! Because it’s a world rarely seen with your own eyes!@furykeywest @visitkeywest @boydscampground @keywest#snorkeling #snorkiesofinstagram #snorkel #lookingformermaids #mermaid #florida #floridakeys #keywest #sunsetcruise #letsgo #itsfiveoclocksomewhere #rvtravel #travel #rvlife #fulltimervers #boatlife
Why drive when you can ride? 🌴🚲🌺🚲🌴🚲🌺🚲🌴🚲🌺 Boy, did our @lectricebikes get a good workout in Key West! Averaging 20 miles a day riding between @boydscampground on Stock Island and Key West! Since vehicle parking is a premium and super expensive on Key West, we rode everyday instead. And luckily we had beautiful days to traverse. Plenty of places to lock them to bike racks, poles and fences. 🚲 However, gotta be careful if there’s a sign that reads otherwise. The authorities will cut your lock and take it away. So, we were always mindful. 🚲 But doggone, they were the star of the show as we did not see many electric bikes. Several stopped at our campsite to ask about them. Others were intrigued about how they folded in half and both fit in our Jeep. And throughout the Key, locals and tourists alike, were interested in how they functioned and range. 🚲 We rode everywhere! To the buoy, Hemingway Home, Coast Guard Cutter Ingham Museum, Fort Zachary Taylor, beaches and everything between! 🚲 We never had to worry about being too tired to get back home to our mini moho. And we didn’t fret on the really windy days because we’d just kick in the pedal assist. 🚲 But, did you notice something else? Those aren’t some cheap bicycle helmets. Our son and his wife gifted our @senabluetooth helmets so we could be safer on the road through Bluetooth technology communication. They rock! We can alert each other of passing cars, road obstructions, potholes, passing and overtaking, etc. So, if you bicycle together, they’re perfect! Ours can intercom up to 7 other helmets so we can ride in groups. Thank you to @strykeradv and @kelsikovacich for such a great gift! 🚲 So, if and when you’re headed to @visitkeywest take your bikes! It’ll save you a ton of money in rentals and parking. 🌴🚲🌺🚲🌴🚲🌺🚲🌴🚲🌺#keywest #electricbike #ebike #lectricebikes #lectricxp #lectric #bicycle #letsridebikes #rvlife #rvliving #fulltimerv #rvcouple #rvfulltime #letsride
🌴Some things in life, you really can’t put a 🌴Some things in life, you really can’t put a price tag on.🌴 🌺🍹🐠⚓️🦀🐬🏄🏻‍♂️🐈🌴 In our 7 years as fulltime RVers, this was our most expensive campground. Truth be told, almost $1200 for only 7 days! But, considering we’ve not been on a real no-work vacation since beginning of our RV lifestyle, it was worth it. 🌴 When you think about how much a cruise is or flying overseas or even cross country and lodging, we can’t really complain. But yeah, for a campground that doesn’t turn down your bed or leave chocolates on your pillow, no free coffee or even little bottles of shampoo samples, it’s still a bit high for what it is and even where it is. 🌴 We didn’t have time to use the pool or any of the amenities. We literally parked and slept with our kitties there. 🌴 We really want to go back to Key West but are hoping when we return, the Navy FamCamp will be open again so we can spend our money on more fun things. 🌴 But, after all is said and done, Boyd’s was clean, had nice shower houses, nice looking pool, outdoor game room, boat docks, water access and a great store. We have to laugh though, a bundle of firewood cost $12! 🌴 But, we still feel blessed that we still can travel (responsibly) and still live our happy little nomadic life. 🌴 So, have you camped at a place where your week cost more than what you budget for a whole month? 🌺🍹🐠⚓️🦀🐬🏄🏻‍♂️🐈🌴@boydscampground @visitkeywest @keywest#rvlife #rvfulltime #rvlifestyle #rvvacation #campground #fulltimerv #rvlifestyle #homeiswhereyouparkit #homeiswhereweroam #homesweetroam #roadlife #rvtravel #rvcouple #keywest #floridakeys #florida #tropicalvibes
“We left our mark!” 🌴🏄🏻‍♂️⚓️⛱🌞🐠🦀🐬🐈🌺 We don’t tag with our sticker unless permissible. In Key West, there’s a big sticker wall where peeps from all over the world leave their mark and evidence that they’ve been there. So we joined in to leave ours. 🌴🏄🏻‍♂️⚓️⛱🌞🐠🦀🐬🐈🌺@visitkeywest @keywest @boydscampground @keywestvisitorscenter @stickermule#rvlife #alwaysonliberty #keywest #stickerwall
