Key West, FL (USA)

Departed from NAS Atlanta and flew to Key West in the late afternoon because our squadron wouldn't be able to fly our of our normal base for the week (due to airfield maintenance).  We landed at Boca Chica and picked up my rental car from Enterprise (2045).  Then gave a ride to some of the maintenance guys so we could all check into the Holiday Inn Beachside (on North Roosevelt BLVD). This is my first night in Key West - ever! After changing into our "civvies", we had some drinks at the hotel bar (Rum Runners) and then moved to Duval Street - wow! Ate dinner at the Pier House Restaurant ("One Duval"), finishing around 1915L. Back to hotel after that and went to sleep.  This is going to be a fun detachment!
