Location: Key West, Florida The Hemingway House, one of Key West's most popular spots, was once the home of the celebrated American author, who lived here for more than a decade. You can wander around the largely preserved rooms and tour the lush, lovely gardens. The home is filled with Hemingway memorabilia—photos, books, and furniture—that played a part in his South Florida life. There are free guided tours every 30 minutes.

Hemingways golden years have been left in the yard Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum. At Key West, the only thing that can't be avoided is Hemingway, whether you're in a restaurant, bar or plaza. In the 1930s, he lived in the southernmost town of the United States for nearly a decade. In addition to his well-known writer label, he is also an excellent boxer, a global traveler, a brave battlefield hero, an avid fisherman and hunter, and a senior alcoholic gambler. The period of residence in Key West is Hemingway's golden years. He usually gets up at 6 in the morning, writing until noon, and fishing or drinking in the afternoon and evening. Most of the words in "Farewell to Weapons", "The Rich and the Poor", "Death in the Afternoon", "The Green Hills of Africa", "The Snow of Kilimanjaro" and "Who Is the Death Bell?" Written in this house. The descendants of the Hemingway family, but he was a six-toed cat called "Snowball" that was raised in the same year. Today, 59 cats living in the house are descendants. They can enter and exit at will in front of the house, even if they are surrounded by Hemingway's antique beds and rocking chairs, they are also their resting place.

The 19th-century fortress Dry Tortugas National Park floating in the turquoise sea is one of the most difficult to reach American national parks. The boat and seaplane can only be reached. From Key West, all the way to the west for two and a half hours. The speed of the ship is very fast. Standing on the bow deck, you can sometimes see the sea turtles floating on the water surface. Several black clouds on the side are pouring rain on the uninhabited reefs a few kilometers away. Most of the dry turtle national parks belong to the sea, while the upper part of the sea has only a few small coral reefs and a huge amount of Fort Jefferson. Built in the 19th century, the hexagonal fort was built with more than 16 million bricks and is said to be the largest masonry in the Western Hemisphere. In addition to maintaining the shipping trade and defending the security of the Gulf of Mexico, it was also used to detain the Southern Alliance deserters during the American Civil War. Jefferson Fort is almost as large as the island it is in. It took me more than three hours to walk along each floor of the fort. I even went snorkeling and back to the shore. I didnt care about lunch on the boat. The fortress was full of large-caliber artillery pieces, and the one-meter-thick outer wall was unbreakable in the same year, enough to protect the "Gibraltar" of the Gulf of Mexico.

The southernmost sunset of the US mainland in South Florida during this trip, except for the first rain in Miami, the rest of the day is good enough to see the sunrise and sunset every day, just like breathing . is no exception in Key West. Mallory Square in the west of the city is a great place to watch the sunset, in addition to the street performers. When the sun sets to the sea level, and the sea breeze smashes, the sky blends pink, orange, and blue-violet in the line of sight, and the hard shell melts at the moment.

As the largest masonry fort in the United States, Jefferson Castle stands on Garden Island, 113 kilometers west of Key West, the southernmost tip of the United States mainland. Jefferson castle is hexagonal. It is built according to the perfect symmetry advocated by the classical architecture school.

#DecemberTravelSupportEvent I'm so happy that cruises are so popular these days! I went on a Bahamas cruise in my late 20s, and I had so many special experiences that it was a trip of a lifetime, so I highly recommend it🥹 ✈️After flying from Incheon to Miami, I boarded the Royal Caribbean cruise at the Miami port! I enjoyed an island vacation in Nassau-Cococa-Cay-Key West in the Bahamas, and went on a tour where I swam with dolphins and got kissed🐬 More than anything, the formal dining, night parties, deck swimming, and movie watching on the cruise made me feel the joy of traveling more. While traveling to 58 cities in 27 countries, I realized that traveling is just the same, and I hope that it will be widely known to Koreans, and that there will be many good routes and promotions🙏🏻 ##Bahamas ##Cruise Travel

#domestictravel Key West is a tropical paradise at the southernmost point of the continental U.S., offering a laid-back vibe and Caribbean feel. Known for its beautiful sunsets at Mallory Square, vibrant Duval Street, and Ernest Hemingway’s historic home, Key West has something for everyone. The island’s crystal-clear waters are ideal for snorkeling, diving, and fishing, while its eclectic art scene and Cuban-inspired cuisine add to its unique character. Key West is an ideal destination for those looking to unwind, enjoy outdoor activities, and soak up island vibes

Although Miami is located in the southernmost part of the US, the weather is currently characterized by a large temperature difference between day and night. It's like summer during the day and autumn at night. However, boys can wear short sleeves at night, while girls who are afraid of the cold are recommended to wear shirts and long pants or long skirts, as it can be quite chilly when the wind blows. MIAMI—KEY WEST round trip. 09:30 Depart from the hotel. The scenery along the way is breathtaking. Ah~ I really love the sea! There is a broken bridge next to the Overseas Highway near Key West, forming a unique landscape. It is said to be a scenic spot, and a 20-minute stop is enough. Broken bridge ⬇️ There are Americans fishing on the bridge. They either release the fish or feed them to the birds, and rarely take them home to eat. (This reminds me of the wild animals during the pandemic. Who on earth insisted on eating bats?) ⬇️ 🅿️ Parking recommendation: There is a parking lot behind DJ's restaurant, which is very convenient for visiting the attractions. It's just a short walk away. Although it looks far on the map, it's not far to walk. The two adjacent attractions are at most less than 1 km apart. Parking costs $4/hour, and you pay for the time you park. Here, you park first and then pay for the parking time. It relies on honesty, and basically, no one will overstay, nor will anyone check. We found that we overstayed halfway through, so we went back to buy more time. ● Southernmost Point Address: Whitehead St&South Street ⬇️ ● Hemingway House Address: 907 Whitehead St Ticket: $15/person The waiter thoughtfully asked us where we were from and then gave us an introduction in Chinese, saying that a tour guide would come to give a tour at 4 pm. (The tour guide did come, but I couldn't understand a word...) The main reason for visiting is to see the six-toed cats. I realized that it's not that I don't like cats, but I don't like skinny animals. Chubby cats are quite cute. There are really a lot of cats... They are specially raised, and several of them really have six toes! There are also normal five-toed cats. WOW, amazing~ ● Lighthouse Address: 938 Whitehead St Who knew that it would close at 16:00... So we couldn't go up to the lighthouse to take a look. We could only take photos and check in outside the gate to show that we had been there.
