Hello again! 

Paul from Everyone's Travel Club here, ready to continue sharing from our recent kayaking trip to Key West, Florida.  First, the packing of the lightweight, inflatable kayaks back in Seattle.

After a few long flights, we made it to Miami in one of the smallest commercial planes I've ever flown in!

Our Innova Kayaks fit nicely in our luggage - just making the weight limit for each bag (50 lbs).

We relaxed at a friends house in Miami and then set out the next day on our first day of kayaking, just off of Key Biscayne, minutes from Miami. The weather was great - sunny, 74 degrees, water temperature like Seattle lakes in the summer, fairly normal for February in South Florida.

Maybe they should just make all cameras waterproof...

One little oops - Amber forgot to bring the sunscreen...ouchy.

Ouchy for both of us...Apparently applying vinegar or tea bags turns the sunburned heat down a notch...we eventually picked up some aloe. 

A pretty sweet day...considering the gloom we left in Seattle!

Hang with us this week as we post parts 3-6 of the Key West Kayaking adventure!  Please comment if you have any questions about the trip, we'd love to forward you more info, answer questions, or post some of your pics from the Keys!  This is a club for everyone after all...
