NYC + KW pics

We were down in Key West for four days. It is located at theat the tip of Florida, the southernmost point of continental USA, 90 miles above Cuba, 1000+ miles to the north is New York. My friends and I once did a road trip between NYC and Key West raking up 5000 miles in a single week.


The temperature was perfect right around 70-78F (21-26C). The ocean glittered under the tropic sun. We got a free upgrade from Hawk's Cay where we stayed at. You'd wonder if they ever read your special request and I know for a fact this time they did. We mentioned it was our honeymoon and we got a villa, worth $519 to $1400 per day during high season!

Ours is the one to the far left, with the best view!

From here on these are our own pictures:

views from our villa


from the second floor; one of Hemingway's house cats


tropical fruit "horned melon" we'd never had before, tastes sour; boat sailing by our back yard


dolphin experience with a price right at the resort; ordering catch-of-the-day lunch


complementary champagne; master bedroom


sunrise sunset we were too excited to sleep; key west in a dish right inside the villa


a sailboat going to an exclusive island cocktail party I imagine; Hemingway's bed


the resort's lagoon; golf cart the preferred means of transportation


another view; sunrise


From here on are pictures taken in NYC:

cherry blossom in central park; the world's largest blue sapphire: link


the big tree in my sister's yard. it's BIG(!); view from top of Empire State Building; it took THREE(3) hours to get up there, the line was loooooooooong, or was it 4?


Kazumi (the wife) punching a boxing ball in the garage; my old work place
