    Try throwing a coconut over the railing at the hotel into the parking lot (if it's relatively empty that is). It's amazing how durable those things are. Not a bad bounce either. :) Other than that, the wave-runners are a blast, and sunsets are gorgeous! Have fun!! BW CP Member Homepages

    Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try that. With my luck I'd hit somebody though. I can see the headlines now: 3 DEAD IN KEY WEST Man detained on island of fun and joy for bludgeoning innocent guests with coconuts...More at 11...

      I'm heading to Key West, Florida for about four days starting this Saturday. Anybody have any advice (things to do, see, etc?) I know for sure I'm going out on the reef. I was trying to decide whether to dive or snorkel. There is about a $50 (US) difference, but I think the dive trip would be worth it. Any sugguestions?

            Last time I was there we rented a small boat for the day it was only about 70-80 bucks. It was a blast, but it depends what you are there for. Honestly, I didn't like the town too much since it was so touristy. You can only be a victim if you admit defeat - Descendents

                Are you a certified diver? I'm an open water diver, but I haven't went on a diving trip in years. Hmm... I need a vacation. :) Jeremy Falcon

                  Yes.. er... well mostly. I was certified 5 years ago and haven't been since due to lack of funds and too much college and work. I would have to take a refresher, but I'm definitely going to get into it again one of these days.

                    Pretty much the same situation for me. I was certified by PADI over ten years ago. I've since lost the physical license, but I'm hoping I can just call them up and order a replacement one. Jeremy Falcon

                      I just got back from there last week. I would definately suggest hitting up "Almost Heaven" parasailing company. The cost was around $35 and it's a great relaxing view over the water. Definately check out Mallory Square and Margaritaville, lots to see and do. Have fun. :) - Nick Parker

                        Last time I was there, I had a real good time in the evening, it's pretty good place to have party.... And here's my favorite: Check out the Hardrock cafe, it's one of the most beautyful HRC's in the world (And I have visited a lot of them....) Clickety[^] It's a good place with cool people, so have fun! Greetings from a strange planet!

                          Jetski around the islands is a scream. Also yachting is availble, very relaxing. I'd say both are a must! :) Ant.

                            Sorry for the delay. Long day. I am certified (PADI) and I want to dive the reef while I have the chance. A few people said "Just snorkel it, it's only like 30 feet deep and it's cheaper". I think that those people are retarded circus monkeys though and I think I will dive it after all. :)

                              Really? Do you remember where you went by chance? All the places I looked at were deep sea fishing trips for $400 - $600. That's a bit more than I was looking to spend (by "a bit", I mean about $300 - $500)
