A Few Short Notes on Vaykay...

I've been terrible about updating my blog since back in town, so, feeling guilty, here are a few notes about our wonderful vacation:
 
1.  It was wonderful.  I'm now a pleasant shade of brown & look even healthier than before.  Ha! 
2.  Why can't I be there now???
3.  Here are a few restaurants you should check out when down there:
- Shula's on the Beach - part of the resort at which we stayed - Wyndham Reach Resort.  Kinda pricey, but great seafood & steak - and a chocolate souflée that is TO DIE FOR. 
- Camille's - Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner -  comfortable, mid-priced restaurant with really good food (American)
- Blue Heaven - sit outside under Key lime trees and watch the chickens and roosters chase each other around.  Very friendly service, good food, esp. brunch.
- B's -  very inexpensive Cuban restaurant with yummy food, sangria, good strong coffee.
4.  Tourist place you must visit:  The Butterfly Conservatory.  It is an enchanting place with butterflies all around you.  Sounds kinda lame, but trust me, it was well worth the trip; even Jeff was impressed.
 
Ok, must justify my salary.  More to come - reviews, rants, stuff.  Have a smurfy day!
 
PS/UPDATE:  Jeff just reminded me of an restaurant oversight:  Origami - a great little, cozy sushi place. 
 
This and most of the above places are around the Duval/Simonton Streets area & easy walking distance from both Wyndham resorts.

Let's not forget Origami. Fab sushi and gyoza. And within easy stumbling distance of our hotel.
