Yea its always a gamble to go in Sept but hey the rates are waaaay cheaper and we have usually got great weather in the past years. Personally I am ready for the two weeks every year trip myself. Problem is I dont ever wanna leave!!!! When I do I have the same feelin I did as a kid when I knew I was gonna be in trouble when I got home.....

We stay at Conch Key Villas on Conch Key(west side of the Long Key Bridge). Pretty sweet deal, it is definitely not high-society but its nice enough to be comfortable and at $350/person for the week, the price is right.

$720 each including gas, bait, travel, lodging, food, etc, is what it cost us each to do this trip!!!!!!
