    Personally, next trip down, I'd make the waitress a top priority, and the food there is incredible

    Haha. Thank you very much! Its not easy getting off the auto settings but when you do it makes shooting much more fun. Im a little biased because I have only been to the Keys in Florida. 3 times now actually. I would highly recommend going to the Keys though. Some of it is a bit touristy, but even those areas are very nice. Fishing and diving are a big part of the Keys experience, but there are endless things to do. Going there for the food is enough to justify a trip. We stay in Key Colony in Marathon Key, but there are nice places to stay all through out the Keys.

    Thanks! I used a 18-55mm Nikkor and a 55-200 Telephoto Nikkor lens. My camera body is a Nikon d5100.

    Hey you went to the Mote Aquarium in Key West! I worked there once.
    I usually stay on Big Pine and head out to Bahia.

    Yes I did! Bahia is gorgeous. The aquarium looked like it was in disarray a bit though. They said they just moved around a bunch of stuff so it would make sense though.

    Thanks! I had a fantastic time!
