Ahhhhh Key West, Florida—the last island of all the keys, the furthest point south of the United States. You drive over a 7 mile bridge to get to this paradise island, but once you are there, you are in a place where it is warm every day, the breathtaking sunsets look like they come from a movie or a painting, where there are coconut palm trees as tall as buildings…
