A little Key Lime, a little Crime… and a lot of holiday chaos 🎄🔍🍸



Hey Reader,

Whew! What. A. Week. Between the travel, the Christmas craziness, and spending time with family (and eating way too many cookies), I almost forgot what day it was. But I didn’t forget to share a few fun things with you.

🎤 This week, I got to chat with the fabulous Kim Stamps—you might know her from Up the Keys Eco Tours, but now she’s launching two new adventures in paradise:
👉 The iWitness Key West Crime Tour (mystery, scandal, and a touch of drama—what’s not to love?)
👉 Tarte Tales, a tour that’s basically a love letter to Key Lime Pie. 🍋🥧

I pinky swear I’ll be back in the full swing of things next week, with more videos, lives, and all the Key West fun. But until then, I just want to take a minute to say...

🎉 Happy New Year! 🎉
If Key West is on your calendar in 2026 (or even if you’re just dreaming), I’m here to help you plan a trip that’s extra special—cocktails, hidden gems, and maybe even a rooster selfie or two. Just hit reply and ask away.

🐓 Speaking of roosters… Mr. Coffee had a moment with Santa this week. And let’s just say... he was not amused. I, on the other hand, couldn’t stop laughing. 😂 (Photo below—see if you can spot the side-eye.)


🎯 Last Week’s Trivia:
You got it—Wisteria Island = Christmas Tree Island!
Now, why is it called that? That’s still a mystery… but it sure fits the season!


🕛 This Week’s Trivia:
New Year’s in Key West is full of glitter, giggles, and some iconic drops.
Can you name the three famous “drops” that happen in Key West on New Year’s Eve?

Hint: Think local flair, a little sparkle, and a whole lot of Key West personality—one is nautical, one is glam, and one is all about island pride.

Reply with your guess! If you get it right, you’ll be entered into our Key West Fun Box drawing for December.

Wishing you a magical New Year filled with palm trees, sunsets, and zero snowflakes.

Cheers to 2026!
