If all this sounds (too!) good, consider this--since we only spend a small percentage of our lifetimes outdoors, why not make the most of it?
The Florida Keys are a unique American landscape. They are not even like the rest of the Florida. Called by some "America's Caribbean," they are reminiscent of the Bahamas or the Caymans or the Netherlands Antilles. They are low-lying dots on an azure sea that separates Cuba from the U.S., strung 130 miles in a long narrow corridor athwart the Gulf Stream, and bordered by one of the world's principal coral reefs that was the scourge of pirates and the Spanish fleet nearly 500 years ago but beckons divers, fishermen, and boaters today.
