12. You were in Key West. Nice town, too many tourists.

Tavernier is an hour, 45 minutes from Ft. Lauderdale.
We are a bit more laid back and islandy. I used to live in Pompano and enjoyed the restaurants and theaters in Ft. L., but I hated the traffic. But it’s bad all over these days.
I fly to NYC or London if I want a culture fix, lol, but lately I just find a good show on tv. Easier.

On edit, you said St. Pete, not Ft. Lauderdale.

Great town. My dad used to live there before he passed. My grandson goes to college down the road from there in Fort Meyers. Wings up, FGCU!! My daughter manages a restaurant In Clearwater Beach,

We are practically related, lol!

Stay well and hope to see you some day!
