Goose is on the loose!

Check out this giant bottle of Grey Goose!  It's 1.75ml!!!

To combat a hangover I drink Coconut Water. Delish! ;-)

7 Fish

No we didn't eat 7 fish but we did visit 7 Fish for dinner yesterday.

It is peak season here in Key West and VERY busy so we were only able to reserve a table at 9.15pm.

Everything we ordered was great but in particular the brownie we enjoyed for dessert along with Baby's Coffee was amazing!

Love the sweet sausage

Check out this sweet bologna given to us by our friends from Lancaster, PA. 

It is the most delicious thing I have ever tasted. It's sweet and meaty!!!

What's not to like about it?!

Kicking back in the Keys....

Taking it very easy here in Key West. On our 2nd night we ate in Santiago's Bodega which was amazing.  It is a tapas restaurant.  Along with a half  bottle of malbec we ate lots amazing dishes including beef tenderloin topped with blue cheese, puff pastry stuffed with mushrooms, cherry glazed ribs, dates wrapped in bacon as well as the most amazing wedge salad.  I was stuffed and could only manage a taste of the rack of lamb that Ciaran ordered.  So yum!!!

Then on our next night after the historic house tour we wanted something lighter so we went for sushi in Origami.  Again so delicious and we had the best waitress who went through our order and scratched half of what we ordered because she said we ordered too much and we could order extra if it wasn't enough.  She was right!

Banana Cafe

On Christmas Day we joined our friends for a beautiful meal in Banana Cafe

The ambiance and setting was fabulous - we sat out on roof terrace.  The company was super and the food was gorgeous along with some nice wine.  I started with lobster ravioli which were amazing.  I then had the ribeye for main.  I didn't go for dessert as there was no key lime pie on a stick! ;-)

All in all a really brilliant evening and loved meeting up with our friends - Hello P&A if you are reading!

Highlight of the night was meeting Lady Gaga!!!!

It's a long long way to......

Wow what a trip!
Left our house at 5am to catch the coach to Dublin Airport.  Boarded our flight to Atlanta at 8.30am and then arrived there at about midday US time.  Caught our connection to Fort Lauderdale and then arrived near 5pm.  Picked up our rental car and were on the road by 6pm. 
The drive down the Florida Keys were tough, we were very tired.  We stopped off in Key Largo to pick up supplies and I think it was about 9pm (2am Irish time!) when we finally arrived in Key West.

We were in bed within 15 mins.  It's now just 6am and I am awake.  Jetlag is a killer but I will try go back and sleep a bit more.
Happy Christmas to all my readers!!!

Leaving on a jet plane

Just finishing up our packing for our Christmas trip to Key West, Florida.

I dropped our dog off to my parents and changed some euros into dollars earlier on so looks like we are all set to go!
