Special Valentine’s Key West getaway Feb. 11-16, 2015 Still a U.S. territory, but closer to Cuba than Miami, Key West, Florida is dynamic collage of culture, food, nature and people. Without a doubt, one of the most “laid back” cities on the planet, Key West is known for its easy-going lifestyle, great weather and nearly 24/7 party atmosphere. Travel with us in February to experience four days and five nights of this quirky, unique and sometime eccentric piece of real estate. The $450 per person cost based on double occupancy covers transportation, five nights lodging, breakfast and lunch supplies, and scheduled shuttles around town. Single rate is $550 per person.
