Little Palm Island

Scott and I took the most amazing vacation a couple weeks ago to Little Palm Island, in the Florida Keys. It was the best "adult" vacation we could have ever dreamed of taking. There were no televisions, no phones in the rooms or allowed in public, no clocks, horrible internet, etc. The island slogan is "Do Nothing." It took Scott a little while to get over the initial shock of no TV, but he did get over it eventually. The first night we played checkers and talked the night away. The other nights we HAD to draw out dinner and enjoy the gorgeous sunsets, because there was nothing else to do. It was an all-around incredible experience and a major change of pace from our usual rushed 30 minute dinners we get while dining out these days - kids or sans kids (very bad habit we have grown accustomed to - rushing through meals). Anyways, the island only has 15 huts with 2 rooms to each... so max 60 guests and we had to go during the week so we hardly saw anyone - even better! Food was mostly fresh seafood (sorry Scott), waiters & staff were so kind and we had best Sunday brunch I have ever had - ever. Apparently people take the boat over from the Keys to have this brunch. And to top all of that off, there were all these friendly deer spotting the island that would let you pet them and feed them.
I dream one day of going back...
