so trip was great other than about the 700 dollars over budget.
we had a garbage PT cruiser that was horrible on gas. Hotels were nice with waterfall pool. Game was awsome, Dolphins won, of course.
should've got more pics. And the picture part of the video camera sucked so only half of our pics came out good.
Onto the pics.

The Game


After the win



in key largo where we stayed



behind the hotel



mile marker 0 key west


6 miles off keywest, coral reef snorkel tour location. water was so blue.



6ft shark 20 ft below us. hard to see with crappy underwater walmart camera. just left of center



15lb parrot fish



part of the reef





more fish


VIDEO of some dolphins we seen on the way back to shore. came right next to the boat after about 20 seconds.

best vaca yet. we had an awesome time.
we stayed in key largo 2 hrs north of key west and then drove to key west.

if you ever go to the keys, dont waste your time, just go and stay in key west. there was no "blue" water anywhere else in the keys and it felt like you wer e in the middle of nowwhere until key west. if you ever go you have to do the snorkel tour it made the trip and it was only 38bucks per person.

will post more pics when i get them from the other camera

Great pics! I enjoyed looking at them. Thanks! Other than the PartTime Cruiser, looks like you had a good time.

Apparantly all you had to do to make the PT Cruiser better is what some guy a few blocks away from me did. He took the SS badges off of a 7th gen Monte, and stuck them on the sides of his PT Cruiser. Apparantly that adds horsepower or something.

its more blue than what you see in the commercials. its really unbelievable. you can see 50 feet down easy. they let us dive off the boat into the water it was great.

oh there was also alot of barracuda between 2 and 4 feet but they were as docile as the shark was. i swam down towards the shark to get a closer picture but it just kept swimming away. the camera Does NOT do the water justice. its all foggy through the camera but it was crystal clear through the snorkel mask. visibility at 30 ft away was 100%

barracuda
