Yeah, I always hate the early departure from Key West. But the outside bar at Bourbon St Pub opens around 11am usually. That's where my group always ends up when we are in Key West on a cruise call. Certainly not a night life at that point, but it's still cool. And good drink prices. Then plan our departure to be able to stop at Sloppy Joes and Captain Tony's before we have to get back on the tram. (Last 2 stops have been on CCL Imagination, which seems to always dock at the Outer Mole)
I don't know if it will be in 2012, but I do wanna get down to Key West on a real vacation some time soon. Tho just afraid I won't wanna leave
