Title: Very Helpful in Planning our Trip
Review: I ordered this book a few months ago when my husband and I began planning our trip to the Keys. First, it was a fun and entertaining read. But more importantly, we ended up doing many of the adventures in the book. We just returned from the trip, our first visit to the Keys, and this book led us to many great spots and activities. There were many different options for all interests and budgets, and some great recommendations for food, drink and sunset spots. If you want to explore the keys, this is a great resource.

Title: Great for off the beaten path adventures!
Review: My husband & I loved this book! There were a couple things that aren’t there/not open to the public but it was still so fun! I also really liked how it was broken into sections, it made it very easy to find each thing & mark it off! I also really like the variety of different things. Most of them could be quick stops or turned into longer adventures! Overall super fun book!

Title: Cute Book, Good For Ideas
Review: It's a quick, easy book to read - some of the ideas seem a little half thought-out just to get to 100, but there are other ideas that are really awesome! Most of them are nice to have as a "we're passing this place, let's make a quick stop," so I do really like it. Cute book!

Title: Fun
Review: We got this book before our Keys trip and enjoyed finding many of the places mentioned. Not your typical tour guide but that’s why we liked it!Many places/activities were not of our interest but quite a few were. For anyone who plans to do the Overseas Drive from Key Largo to Key West and wants some fun and quirky ideas of what to do.

Title: Florida Keys Bucket List...
Review: I thought this book was okay. I kinda wished I had heard about it before I went to the Keys this past September. Might have changed how we did things then. Oh well...maybe some other time.

Title: Helpful book!
Review: Although I have driven the Keys many times, I bought this book to be sure I hadn’t missed any fun stops. Well, I marked at least ten pages of places we will be visiting along the Keys on our drive to Key West. Great and fun guide! Can’t wait!
