Duval Street, Key West Tourism
This week I went with my family to Key West. We needed to unwind, and the hotel we like was 40 percent off. Once we settled down, we drove to Duval Street. The parking situation is somewhat peculiar, but manageable. If you know how to parallel park, then you won’t have a problem. Remember your three points. You are going to need them when you accidently hit the car that is parked behind you. As far as public transportation, there is the regular bus, a train and a trolley. All cost money. When we went to ride the trolley, we...
Chesapeake Resort Second Visit Review
At the last moment, we got an offer to stay at this resort for one night for 200 bucks. It seemed like too much of a sweet deal to pass up, so we drove down to Islamorada. We had already been there before, so there aren’t that many new things for me to tell you about. This time they gave us a room with a door that closed. So, that was an improvement from the last visit. We spent the entire time in the pool. There was a floater that someone had left behind. We used it for a...
Artsy Sister Visits the Miami Van Gogh Exhibit
This Saturday I visited the Van Gogh Exhibit. The Exhibit took place in the Gusman Center in 174 E Flagler St. Getting to the venue was an interesting experience, in it of itself. The street in front of the Gusman Center was being repaired. We had to park a block away in order to make it to the exhibit. In Miami, they are always destroying and reconstructing streets. Even with a GPS, you still get lost because Google doesn’t know which streets are being blocked. Enough about the driving situation. The interior of the building had a lot of beautiful...
Faena Theater Allura Show Review
Last night, I went with my family to see the Allura show in the Faena Theater. It has become a bit of a family tradition to go see whatever new show Faena is offering. The artistry of these shows makes it an enjoyable experience for both men and women. The last one we saw was called Tryst. The new current one is called Allura. We were going to see it last week, but the date was pushed forward to November the 5th. My experience of the show and the food is segmented in two parts. I already reviewed the food....
Faena Theater Allura Food Review
On the 5th of November, I went with my family to the Faena Theater. We saw the show Allura. We also came there to overstuff our face. I cannot say much about the drinks because I only had a soda. I photograph the food menu. You can see the food option and how much everything costed. We ordered appetizers, main course and dessert. Even with mother and brother ordered drinks, everything ended up costing less than 300 bucks. This is good considering that inflation is making everything so expensive. Anyhow, back to the food. For appetizers, I ordered some 12...
