Weekend Part Uno
It's been a while - sorry!
Spent the weekend in south Florida with the one and only ConStEr thE MOnSteR. We had a blast. The mileage gauge on my gold Toyota Solara rental read 400 mi as of this morning.
We realized that both of us are completely insane overly analytical planners. Which worked out
great because we condoned each other's anality. It took us one week to decide if we should stay in Key Largo (1.5 hour drive from Miami) or Marathon (2.5 hour drive from Miami). After checking into our hotel in Key Largo, and to rectify our indecisiveness, we decided to be spontaneous and drive down to the southern most tip of the United States, Key West. [Sidebar: can you "decide" to be spontaneous?] We made it in record time, stopping to take pictures of the ocean, the birds in the wind and generally posing as Asian tourists along the way. The entire drive was filled with a beautiful sunset upon the water on both sides of the famous US 1 highway. It was incredibly romantic. Connie, I think I'm in love. 
When we got to Key West at 7 p.m., we spent almost an hour looking for parking (it is an island after all, and there are only so many spots available, especially when the rest of the state of Florida is in town for their halloween celebration, FantasyFest). For once, I parked illegally, and it felt liberating. I felt a little dirty doing it, but don't tell anyone.
Unfortunately, "paint" was outlawed a few years ago as a form of clothing, so there weren't as many scandalous costumes as we expected (hoped). By 10:30 p.m., we left the infamous little island and drove two hours back to Key Largo, where we chatted for a brief 3 seconds before falling fast asleep.

Yes, our anality was through the roof!
Hmm, according to the medical dictionary:
a·nal·i·ty (-nl-t)
n.
The psychological state derived from and characteristic of the anal period of psychosexual development.
Still applies :p
Thanks for an awesome trip Jeanne! I will never forget manatee mailboxes, Badcock and more, IPod (oops I mean IHOP), Little Duck Key, thong-clad old fat men in Key West, and re-enacting the bridge explosion scene from True Lies.
Ok, maybe the last one didn't happen, but i wish it did.
ahh the sweet life outside of new york.
tenerife disaster: click if you dare! hehe. it's an amazing story really.
It's always special when one partakes on a road trip with a bosom friend. Nice entry Sis~ =)
