At Kona Kai In Key Largo! We are attending Islamorada Birthday Trip, Via The Blue Chip 2 Sportfishing Adventures

American Press Travel News-May 5th–Key Largo and Islamorada, Florida Keys-“Bob & Barb On the Road Again” and “Stopping to Smell the Roses & Admiring the Hibiscus Flowers.. So our son David had his 50th Birthday and was spending his day on the Charter Craft, Blue Chip 2 with veteran Captain Skip Bradeen, his mate David and my sons friends John ElKoury, Billy Pope and Dave, all part of Coastal Reality of the Florida Keys, Allan Pope owner of Keys Life Magazine, Eric Dyer another of David’s childhood and lifelong friends and Captain Key Largo; my younger son Brian Epstein who runs his backcountry boat out of Key Largo and who knows where the big ones lurk and jerk the lines.
The day was blustery, but on the Blue Chip 2 we caught fish, the heck with the wind and swells. Everyone caught dinner sized yellowtail snapper, and some tuna including bonita and down deep Mutton Snappers. It was a great day and it finished with a special fishing and boating themed and decorated cake, too!

At the end of day yours truly went on Captain Skips Radio Show to talk about the day and my published Keys themed books. We ate yellowtail of the day and at least one beer at the Moose Club. Kona Kai 800-365-STAY—In Key Largo, fish here, eat here and love here!!! By the way: You can buy my signed books at Kona Kai too!

Key Largo Conch House

A platter that still brings salivation! Crab cake, coconut shrimp, cracked conch, ceviche of lobster and conch, conch fritters and mango sauces as well as other tropical dips.

AmericanPressTravelNews-Feb. 12th, Bob & Barb @On The Road Again- The Key Largo Conch House, owned by the Dreaver family was a treat. Just a few meters from the Overseas Highway, yet feeling like a Key West hide-away, this special restaurant is a true mom, pop and family affair. When Emeril Lagasse visited to tape a show that aired in 2015, they were ready as they are for anyone coming to relax and dine either inside or on the Key West style porches. Barb and I found out how great this restaurant is when we enjoyed a very special watermelon salad, a strawberry spinach salad, true conch chowder, WOW! We also tried a platter of seafood goodies, such as fried conch, lobster & conch ceviche, coconut shrimp, and mango crab cakes along with conch fritters too! Their varied menu for breakfast and lunch will serve anyone’s palate and tastes to a “T.” Try their strawberry salad, watermelon salad, coffees like no others and amazing beers and smoothies. Eggs Benedicts and omelettes your way. Getting married, they also cater to your best needs and pocketbooks!

Key Largo Conch House  is located at 100211 Overseas Hwy, Key Largo, FL 33037 305-453-4844. They are open 6 days, from 8 a.m. to 10:00 P.M.  www.keylargoconchhouse.com
