Season: 1
Episode: 3

"Fun in the Sun" is given a whole new meaning in this episode as Erik The Travel Guy takes you down to Mile Zero to set sail and get some step by step snorkel instruction. He catches the island vibe on Duval Street, learns how to play a conch shell and shows you how to make an authentic Key Lime Pie with a local celebrity, Kermit.

KEY WEST - A LITTLE LIGHT READING

FAST FACTS
State: Florida
Time Zone: Eastern
Currency: US Dollar
Primary Language: English

TRANSPORTATION
Air: Key West International Airport (EYW) is located directly on the island. Since the airport is small, your connection flight to Key West will be on a small plane, often referred to as a “puddle jumper”. The flights originate from Miami (MIA), Ft. Lauderdale (FLL), Tampa, Orlando, or Atlanta. From the plane, the view of the Florida Keys is breathtaking.

Car: A car is not necessary in Key West unless you plan on visiting the other keys. I suggest a street-legal golf cart rental to get you everywhere you need to be.

Train: Amtrak does not have a station in Key West. The closest Amtrak station is in Miami.

THE WEATHER
Spring is the most popular time to visit Key West. The winter crowds have dissipated and the weather is remarkably similar to winter's blissful 70s and 80s. The weather is pleasant as the dry season occurs from December through April, characterized by a lot of sunshine and a little rain.

WHERE TO STAY, WHERE TO EAT AND WHAT TO DO
My specific suggestions can be found in my downloadable Key West Guide. Take a look.
