36 Hours in Key West, Fla.
New York Times (free registration required), April 29, 2007
"It's tough to slap an itinerary on Key West. The whole point of this two-by-four-mile island, after all, is to kick off your shoes and let it all hang out. But here's the rub: do Key West wrong and you might not relax. Witness lower Duval Street, that cacophony of sound, sunburn and daiquiris.

After all, the area is home to fewer people (about 16,000) than elsewhere in the Keys (there are some 25,000 in Key West alone). And the emphasis isn't quite on people..."

History and Hedonism Found in Key West
ShermansTravel.com, October, 2006
"The fact that Key West is one of the world's most-recognized vacation destinations begs the question-what is all the fuss about? It's hardly about the beaches (which pale in comparison to others in South Florida). Rather, it's the local sense of sun-drenched hedonism that tourists find contagious-and which is entirely unique to this bit of Florida. Visiting this part of the United States almost feels like you're leaving the country-and in fact, Key West and the rest of the Florida Keys actually attempted to..."
