Day 1: Georgia to Marathon in nine hours We began our journey with a nine-hour drive from Georgia to Marathon, Fl. Eventhough the trip was extremely long....it was also extremely beautiful. From the overseas highway I saw some of the most beautiful vistas and water that I have ever seen. When we arrived in Marathon, we went straight to the house we had rented. I was so very pleased with the house....I had made the rental without really knowing anything about the place except for what the web page and owners had told me over the phone.
Sounds like you guys had fun. I work in the Keys over the summer with the Boy Scouts and love the Keys more than any place ive ever been. Its my home away from home. The first summer i was there actually, i spent most of my free time at Anne's Beach, so seeing that on your schedule made me smile. I loved chasing around the little crabs and just floating in the water...its a gorgeous place. In fact, being at Anne's, you were right across the street from one of the camp's bases in the Keys! Im glad to hear you guys had fun...and i encourage you to go back...it only gets better!! :o)
Oh and p.s., isnt Looe gorgeous?! Did you see any bull or reef sharks while snorkeling? I love it. I worked on Summerland Key and in Key West too...im so jealous! I miss it so much!
Happy travels!
