Product Description
Open Road's Best of The Florida Keys & Everglades gives readers a small number of great choices and itineraries for one-day, weekend, one-week and two-week trips. Readers are not weighed down with tons of useless information -- we cut to the chase and give readers short descriptions. Only the top hotels and restaurants in each price category have been selected for this book. Readers will find a mix of unique trips of varying lengths for great diving and fishing, kayaking through mangrove swamps and hundreds of square miles of sand and turtle grass flats, sightseeing along the bridges and causeways of the stunning overseas highway, and exploring one of American's unique treasures: Everglades National Park.Readers will also discover the best spots to party hard in anything-goes Key West, the delights of quaint B&B's and delicious seafood throughout the Keys, poke around the small islands and coral reefs that make up Dry Tortugas National Park, take historic walks through Key West's old town -- and where to go to relax on the beach and watch a beautiful sunset.

Glossy but Redundant June 27, 2008
At first glance this book seems great until you read the first chapter or so and then you find yourself looking back thinking you've just read this exact advice,description,reccomendation, etc and there must be some mistake, but alas, no. This book literally continuously repeats itself and I mean, VERBATIM, page after page, chapter after chapter til you can effectively skip over the majority of each section. When you read it you will think that Alabama Jack's and Denny's Latin Cafe must have paid to have this book published as they are mentioned in every single section multiple times til you are already sick of them and you've never even been there! Another major theme to this book is drinking, where to drink, when to drink, each bar or restaraunt and activity is focused around beer or drinks of some kind, perhaps the author is really a college kid? Don't get me wrong, alot of the reccomendations and suggestions are quite good but few are as detailed or descriptive as other guidebooks for the Keys.In addition all of the "trips" suggested in the book assume that you live in Miami. The pages are glossy and the pictures are pretty and I think all in all this book will probably be pretty handy on my trip to the Florida Keys but for the 15 bucks I shelled out for this book one would wish for a little less "gloss" and a little more polish.
