[January 26-29, 2012 - Key West, FL - USA]

So, this is the third annual Key West Food and Wine Fest and it’s the third time for me too. Great as always. This time I stayed at the Waldorf-Astoria The Reach which is right next to Waldorf-Astoria Casa Marina. The Casaa Marina is truly “Waldorf-Astoria” class but The Reach really isn’t. They ought to rename it “Hilton The Reach Resort” or something similar.

The Food and Wine fest has it’s Friday event at a different locale every year and this year it was at the Aquarium. It was a cool setting and the number of people attending made the place really hopping. Saturday was the “Duvall Uncorked” event where ticket holders walk from one end of Duvall Street to the other and stop by where ever the sponsors for that year are, from restaurants, shops, etc. to art galleries. I bumped into a couple, Tom and Lynn, along the way and we had a blast. Here are the pics:

Ah, nothing like going to your favorite spot and doing nothing. Okay, well, close to nothing. Went and visited Rob who I have originally met at San Diego ComicCon and a few other places after that. So he was in town and we went to Camden (Camden Town stop on the tube) and had a beer or two. Okay, I had a beer or two, he had coffee :)

Went back to Camden Stables (famous for shopping bazaar) and walked around a lot the following day in the rain. Got some Indian food from one of the hundreds of food vendors there. Was pretty good. Got a jacket I will need to ‘augment ‘ into steampunk wear :)

Here are the pics from London…
