Key West is a ton of fun and a perfect place for a great sunset pic like yours! Luckily, we live in Orlando which is within about 3.5 hours or less of 5 different cruise ports. Last year instead of a cruise we just drove to Key West and stayed in a beautiful little hotel on Duval street for a few days. (we already had this cruise booked but we still wanted to do something for our anniversary). It was great but still cost as much as a cruise lol. Our first "real" cruise* was about 2 years ago for our 30th anniversary and all I wanna do is cruise. But they keep making me come to work instead.

*our first actual cruise was a little 3-day to Freeport, Bahamas and back just to see if we liked it. It was groupon lol - 99 bucks each and we paid I think 40 dollars to upgrade to a room with a window. The ship was so small it didn't even have a Main Dining room. All buffet - but we had a blast and I consider it a real cruise even if she doesn't lol.

Happy belated 35th! We need to start planning for a cruise for ours in 2021. I think If I start saving now we can swing an Alaska cruise which is very high on my bucket list. But I hope we can do a smaller one before then.
