..... it's difficult to see what the attraction of the Florida Keys is.
Plus, from my point of view, the quality of reefs and coral for scuba diving is questionable. Diving Capital of the World ....... my arse!

And they use sexuality profiling to see if you're a gayer and eligible for a weeks' B&B in the Keys.

Yes, they check to see if you've got a "false bottom" in your suitcase.

LMAO - false bottom indeed... Well if it's the gay capital that means there will be lesbians too - I've always fancied trying my hand at that I hope you are pulling my plonker - and, rest assured, even if you aren't, no blokes in Key West will be allowed to!

OMG you could be right!!! I just read a Key West review here which is suggesting it is getting straighter - http://travel2.nytimes.com/2005/11/18/travel/escapes/18key.html?ex=1161230400&en=d97ce7aa130a63cd&ei=5070. There seems to be a lot of drag act entertainment too The Green Parrot sounds OK though - www.greenparrot.com. This phrase from another site worries me too though... "From the nightly sunset festival in cobblestoned Mallory Square to the numerous gay and lesbian bars, Old Town is the place to discover Key West's famed let-it-all-hang-out attitude. It's also where you'll find the most memorable accommodation in restored homes - all of them gay friendly, if not gay-run." Guess where our accomodation is... Still, we have booked just three nights there. The whole place looks cutesy, in an American kinda way, and I'm sure we can keep our buttocks clenched that long. The plan is then to go to the rather more manly Daytona in time for Bank 'n' Blues on Wednesday night, then into the Shark Lounge at midnight Wed where us Real Men will stay, drinking hard and satisfying the women there, until we leave on Saturday...

If anyone needs a tent for Sebring or even to take back home, Hell*Mart has one that's impossibly cheap right now. Squarely in the "disposable" price range, if that blows your skirt up. Obviously not the highest quality and probably leaks like a sieve, but you gets what you pays for. Should anyone be interested, you could order and have it shipped to my house. The only issue with that is that I won't be arriving at Sebring until Thursday afternoon. I could carry up to 4 until I hit the weight limit for checked bags. I suppose I could also have people PayPal me the money and I'd go pick them up at my local store, where they're priced at $27 + tax, or about $28.50. (16 pounds or so.)
