YouTube Video Description

Welcome to our Florida Keys "Land Cruise" 2023! We spent 6 nights in Marathon and 3 nights in Key West, Florida. In todays video, we go to all of the best Bars, Breweries, Restaurants, and Happy Hours in Marathon and Islamorada! All while working remote full time at the Hampton Inn Marathon (and The Reach Curio Hotel by Hilton in Key West). On Day one, we go to Snappers in Key Largo, see the giant Lobster, Islamorada Brewery & Distillery, Key West Brewery Co., and dinner at Island Fish Company. The next day we tried Curley's Coffee, Sunset Bar and Grill (at the 7 Mile bridge), and Porkey's and dinner at Lazy Days South (OUR FAVORITE HOGFISH SANDWICH EVER). The next day, we tried Sparky's Landing (located at the Fairfield Marriott), Dockside Boot Key Harbor, and The Keys Fisheries (which was closed by the time we got there). The next day we got Starbucks, drove to Islamorada for fish tacos at Lorelei's Restaurant and got dinner to go from the original Lazy Days! Then we went shopping at the Isla Bella market (can't wait to stay at this resort one day!), flew the drone at the 7 mile bridge, and had a craft beer at Burdines Marina Bar and Grill, and had dinner back at Sparky's! On Friday, our last day, we went to Bongo's Botanical Beer Garden, Barnacle Barneys (one of our favorites), Porky's Happy Hour, explored the Isla Bella property, and had our THIRD visit at Lazy Days for our last hogfish sandwich!
