Depending on where you are talking about. Pennekamp? Snorkeling is fine. Islamorada or other places further down? Diving is better. Plus personal preference. Snorkeling easier, cheaper, You can obviously observe better diving. Turtles and nurse sharks tuck under ledges and are easier to see on air.Plus there are a couple wrecks you can only get to diving. I’m not a big wreck diver fan, but most are.Let me know where and I’ll see what insight I can provide. I’ve never dove near Key West so no knowledge about that area. If you are in Islamorada, go to Lorelei’s for sunset dinner and drinks. Have a bushwhacker.
Yeah, yeah bushwackers ar a good thang, hey?
Keys vacation housing pricing has gotten insanely outrageous. Not sure why. We looked at off season and couldn't find anything under a grand a night. There was a lovely waterfront for only $6k a night. Since mrs pbiflyer was over my shoulder, I did not inquire about the SI swimsuit model orgies. ETA: Since you are on Big Pine, drop into the NoName Pub. Good dive bar. Better before the internet and became popular, but still a Big Pine tradition.
Second Lorelei's.Last winter we did a party boat to go fishing. Extremely reasonable, especially compared to chartering a boat. This is the one we took:https://www.budnmarys.com/find-a-charter/party-fishing-boat/Best part is that you can take your catch next door to this place and they will cook it for you and serve it with all the sides:https://www.lazydaysislamorada.com/lazy-days-will-cook-your-catch/
Thank you for the suggestions! The party-fishing boat sounds like an excellent idea What's the prime eating fish down there? Grouper? Yellowtail? I have no interest in paying a fortune to go and catch a mammoth fish.. Although sailfish are cool as hell.
Fresh. Whatever they catch that day, but grouper and yellowtail are the most common and both tasty. Dolphin (mahi, not flipper) is also popular and good. Order fish dip (smoked fish) somewhere. It is a Florida version of chips and salsa.
Tyvm. I will also have to buy some stone crab claws.
This place is great for both stone crab claws and fish dip. Good craft beer selection as well. Glow and I found it when we got to our VRBO late and this was the only place open near where we were staying.https://www.facebook.com/marbartavernier/Most of the patrons we met were boat owners at the marina where this place is located. We met a guy from Seattle who was using his vacation paddleboard from Miami to Key West. Fun place.
Okay, decided on Barbados in March (Just bought my cricket tickets).Recommendations on places to stay in Bridgetown, preferably closer to the stadium and non-cricket activities to do.
Planning a Trip to Qatar for the World Cup in November. Any tips?Flights are close to $2K per person round trip Chicago to Doha. Should we expect that to drop?We’re pretty experienced travelers but never have ventured to an event quite this big.
Tip: They won't have enough beer.
Qatar is a pretty cool place but has limited hotels so make sure you do the hotel booking right away. My favorite is the oldest one... the Sheraton right on the bay. Great gym and great service. Do one of the 4WD dunes trips... they are great. Don't watch any youtube videos of same beforehand!One thing to remember... in November, the evening temperature can get down to 19-21C, and it seems like there's always a breeze. Make sure you take a sweater to evening matches. As for booze, even some 5 star hotels don't have liquor licenses! I went to a great Indian restaurant in a 5 star hotel and got some great authentic spicy stuff and wanted a cold Kingfisher to wash it down... nada, nichts, nyet, no! sparkling water just doesn't cut it!Similar to Dubai, being drunk is a crime. Drinking is not. So mind your P's and Q's and you'll have a great time.
Unfortunately Red Star Belgrade doesn’t have a home match otherwise that would be my reco. Just an unreal environment
