Looking Down at Paradise - The Florida Keys

This is a shot of the Florida Keys from the air, while we were flying back home to Key West. It's a view that never gets old.

The islands extend out over a hundred miles from the South Florida mainland into the sea. Only 90 miles from Cuba, Key West is closer to Havana than it is to Miami. And the islands bring vacationers some of the greatest diving, snorkeling, fishing, and sight-seeing possible in the United States. It's home to North America's only living reef.

Although you can get to Key West by driving (its connected to mainland Florida by over forty bridges) its awesome when viewed from an airplane!

Commercial planes bring you from Miami or Fort Lauderdale to Key West in less than an hour.
