Creator's Key Takeaways
For this flight, we each only packed one personal item, and we have no plans of running a car, golf cart, scooter, or any other means of transportation to get around over the next couple of days.
Now, for a budget carrier, we were impressed with what Breeze offered. The airplane itself seemed very modern.
I would say it's the prettiest of the beaches in Key West. The sand is clean and soft.
We would absolutely recommend all three of those appetizers that we got.

Welcome to Key West, the tiny island with tons of old-Florida charm that might just draw you back time and time again. In this episode we hop on a flight out of Tampa, and just under an hour later, touch down at the Key West International Airport. For this trip we wanted to travel light so we didn't bring any carry-on or checked luggage – we only packed one personal item to fit underneath the seat in front of us. We also decided NOT to rent a car, golf cart, scooter or bike to get around and only relied on walking and our hotel's complimentary shuttle. In this episode we show you what it is like to fly to Key West & stay on the Southeast corner of the island, to see if this type of Key West trip is a good fit for your next visit. #KeyWest #FloridaKeys #Explorcation Thanks to Nomad Lane for sponsoring this episode.
