In Key West we had signed up for the parasailing. At this point I must reveal that I am terrified of deep water (although being on a cruise ship does not faze me at all!) so I was ok until we got up 400+ feet in the air and all that below was the beautiful blue-green ocean. To late to change my mind! It was fun however and a gives you a great bird’s view, even if for just a few minutes. · Make sure to take a camera (disposable only) up with you when parasailing for some great aerial shots. · Wear your swimsuits under your clothes (shoes, etc are left in the boat), as you will get “dipped” in the water as you are pulled in. If you do not want to get wet, just make to tell your guides so they an accommodate you—otherwise enjoy the warm water! We roamed around Key West and visited the Mel Fisher museum (a good stop for any one interested in treasure hunting) and hit several stores, including one specializing in just flip-flops/sandals. Key west is very easy to negotiate and pretty laid back with the boat dock within sight of the main street. Just keep an eye on your watches. The cruise ship had to leave 6 people behind in Key West, as they did not board in time! · You will always need your sea-pass card when exiting the ship. Upon reentering you will need your sea pass card and a photo id or you will be denied boarding!! This is done for security reasons and they will check these cards!
