mistake or not
 

We're coming down to key west in feb for a wedding and rented a house, about 4-6 blks from duval street,for a week. it will be a family event and there will be a few kids, from 2yrs to 11yrs old. my question is are we making a mistake staying in key west for the whole week and is is ok for the kids too? i'm starting to hear bad things about key west , gays, beggars ,etc. people in general don't bother us but is this place safe? thanks for any info and also is there enough for a family of 3 to do for a week there without getting riped off? thanks for any info

<BR>Please -<BR><BR>Don't go at all. Or at least leave the kids at home.<BR><BR>There are gays and beggars in any tourist area - I guess I should say in ALL areas.<BR><BR>What makes Key West seem so more intimidating than anywhere else? I was there in November. While I stopped for a slice of pizza at a small restaurant a radio station at the place next door was interviewing 3 drag queens. It was all a lot of fun and two girls from Nebraska stopped to talked to them and take pictures.<BR><BR>The whole attitude - &quot;is there enough for a family of 3 to do for a week there without getting riped off?&quot;<BR><BR>Key West is a wonderful place. Maybe you should all stay home. <BR><BR>RE the kids - I'm guessing you think that gays are pedophiles. Actually most are heterosexual and more likely than not - family members.<BR><BR>You need a lot of education before they let you vacation anywhere!

excellent reply, johnny

Oh please, not again. This is the third time you've posted this same question Randy. You got plenty of replies to your other posts. If you're still that afraid of Key West, stay home!

Randy, please stay home. Key West doesn't need backwards homophobes like you. Have the wedding at your trailer park, you'll be fine.

IT does get boring there after a while.Unless you like to snorkle,fish and, drink its a very small town and its impossible to find a nice beach.Im going to south florida in a week.theres more to do.but have fun whatever you do or youll reget it later.

We love it and go very often and have NEVER been bored. There is so much to do in Key West and the Keys. Go and you will have a great time. It is a very safe city.
