Key West Florida Sunset

key west sunsetWhen visiting the Key West area in Florida the one thing you have to do is to watch the sunset in a glorious location. It is an event which draws in thousands of visitors from all around the world as the sun goes down into the Gulf of Mexico and has in turn led to events and concerts being organized in the area.

At Mallory Square Dock there is a nightly celebration of the sunset in Key West. It is a celebration which includes performers in the street, arts and crafts, food stalls and music performed by a number of buskers who travel from all over the country and indeed the world. It is a celebration that you can experience without the need to buy any tickets and you only have to spend whatever you want to spend.

However, if you are in the area you have a number of things you can do during the day with a strong emphasis on the water due to the location. Numerous companies offer boating expeditions with cruises, fishing, and snorkeling being popular activities. Prices for this can vary depending on the time of year and the exact location.

The same can be said about food in the area with a variety of cuisines available depending on your tastes. You are able to sample Italian, seafood, food with a Caribbean twist to it as well as finer dining but you do not have to go to top class restaurants to get a good meal.

The main reason to be there is of course to watch the sun go down and in the Key West area you have a variety of potential accommodation in various price ranges. You have choices from campsites near the water to bed and breakfast up to resorts next to the beach. By looking into the area before travelling you can find a place to stay that can come within almost any budget.

But the best part about visiting Key West, Florida for the sunset is that the main reason why you are there is absolutely free and you can experience it time and time again during your stay.

United States Travel

hawaiiWhile so many people think that traveling abroad is the only way to go as far as traveling is concerned, these same folks – people who so often extol the virtues of seeing new and different sights – discount just how much this great country of ours has to offer. From sandy beaches to even sandier deserts; from mountains to rivers to deep wavy fields and valleys filled with wild flowers and grasses, and from quite literally one ocean to another, the United States of America offers something for everyone and its landscape is as vast and varied as any country on the globe.

Even though I certainly pride myself on having visited several foreign countries, nations, and other locales abroad I firmly believe that someone should first explore their own country before moving on to visit the rest of the world. As someone who has been to 46 of 50 states as well as several territories (I’m missing just Alaska, Hawaii, Michigan, and Louisiana) I feel that I am in the proper position to give this sort of advice. In fact, before you set out to leave this nation ask yourself, what am I looking to find?

More often than not you will find that you can find what you are looking for, and then some, right here at home. If you are thinking of a visit to the deserts of Egypt look no further than our very own Death Valley in Nevada and California; the Painted Desert of New Mexico; or any other number of deserts throughout Texas, Arizona, Utah, Colorado and even Oregon! If you are more into beaches and ocean play than states such as Florida, Rhode Island, California, and most obviously Hawaii might be more your speed and the states of Alaska and Texas, almost small countries in their own right offer more to explore than many of the international destinations so many Americans are eager to visit.

While there is certainly nothing wrong with international travel and keeping in mind that I don’t want to come off as one of those ignorant Americans who ignores the world at large, I am just saying that, while travel abroad might have its place, we should not be so quick as to overlook the amazing people and beauty that our own country can offer us right here at home. All I’m saying is that before we go abroad, we should travel at home first.
