The Windjammer was well stocked and replenished as needed. Busing the tables, keeping everything clean and moving along went well.

The first nights show was good. The dancers really performed alot better on night five when they were awesome. El Gaucho was very funny entertaining and what a musician. Great audience participation. Mike Pace preformed magnificently one both nights. Yes Mike keep entertaining our troops. We thank all our troops for keeping our country safe. Ms Furr has an amazing voice put on a great show.

We did the hop on top off bus tour. Great way to see where you want to stop and get some history on Key West. We went to Sloppy Joes and Dirty Kevin's. Fun town.
