Truegrits, where in the Keys does your father-in-law live? We were actually in the city of Key West for 4 years. My husband was in the Air Guard, and got activated on 9/11. After a couple months, he decided to stay active duty, and take a transfer. Key West was one of the options. So, we headed south, in 2 cars. Our first trip down the Keys was something! It was too bad that I was driving, so I couldn't look around too much. I never did tire of driving down the Keys, but I did tire of the 4 hour trip! We were displaced in 2005, due to Hurricane Wilma paying a visit to the area, and spent 6 months in a spacious FEMA "trailer" (by that, read 1 room camper). The first month was a challenge, and it went downhill from there. So, after 6 months, and no news on permanent housing, my husband decided it was time to retire. So, we moved into the bedroom in a friend's house for 6 months. And, then we headed north. If we went any further north, we'd leave the country!
