Craving Key West

Discovered in the AM that I will have a chance to add a trip to Key West on to trip to Hollywood Florida the first part of November. Bad timing on this good news, as it was a little cloudy out today, and not nearly warm enough here in NYC to keep me happy. This cold summer has taken its toll, and I suddenly became obsessed with wanting to be in Key West - not in October or December, but NOW. I literally could not focus on anything else. Looking for a hotel room to book for our trip was a productive way to funnel this focus, floating in our big tub, eyes closed, pretending to be in the gulf waters, for an HOUR, was not.

Other things I did:
Texted a friend from Key West, just to say "hi", out of the blue.
Searched for Key West news sites, and blogs, two of which I signed up to follow.
Bought an old '70's movie "The Key West Picture Show" on Amazon.com
Looked up airfare and various routes, plane/car combination for the two destinations.
Thought about what I could do for a job if I moved to Key West
Bought two new Jimmy Buffett songs on iTunes and listed to Jimmy Buffett music nonstop.
Oh, also watched a video of Jimmy Buffet perform live in the Key West (original) Margaritaville. Ended the day with a couple margaritas at an outdoor cafe, thinking about how much fun I had had in Key West last December, and how much fun I will have there again:)

The Two Blogs I signed up to follow are:

The Key West Picture Show available at Amazon.com

The new Jimmy Buffett songs are Summerzcool, and I Got a Lot To Drink about. (I guess it was this last song that propelled me toward the outdoor cafe and Margaritas.)
