Cruisin' to Key West


View Larger Map

Try this link if you can't see the google map, or you want to see the pictures and stuff that I'll mention later in the blog.

What you're looking at is the directions to Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville.

I was lucky enough to win a cruise from my employer and I decided to take Joey from The Late Show as my guest. So lucky him too!! He wants to go to Margaritaville, so I've mapped it out. Because we'll also be going to Sebago Watersports and we won't have time to waste to get from one to the next.

The cruise will also include stops at Nassau and CoCo Cay, Bahamas and it leaves from Miami and arrives back in Miami.

I'm excited that I finally have a camera so plan on seeing tons of pictures! I'm even going to grab an 8G SD card so I make sure I have room for video too. Can you believe that they make 8G SD cards now... and it's just 35 bucks! I remember when my first SD card was 30 bucks for 256MB!!

I'll tell you what... I love Google Maps. I was actually able to look down the road through a webcam 360 view of the street that Margaritaville is on. So I'm sure I'll be able to find it because I know what the surrounding area looks like. I googled a picture of the front of Margaritville and just looked for that in the google maps webcam! And you can even post pictures of places, historical buildings or of certain beaches and link them on the google map.

Anyway. Other than those couple of plans I think I'll play the rest of the trip by ear... a floating beach mat for rent all day at ten bucks sounds very nice... even the giant water slide would be great! :)

A Glass Bottom Boat ride will be cool if I'm too scared to snorkel at Sebago...

Anyway, I think that'll be it for now. Thanks for reading. TTYS.
