Key West? It's definitely on my list of places to see before I die. Any advice on where you did you travel booking, or how you're getting there?
Please post a trip summary when you get back. I'd love to read more about it.

Will do. I got one USAir ticket free for being bumped on a business trip. I got the second one free on frequent flier miles. I only had to pay for two round trip to Ft Lauderdale, about $400 for the two, which means it averages out to $100 per person round trip for the four of us. The bad news was that because of restrictions on the free tickets I had to adjust my schedule. I never intended to take the smaller plane direct to Key West anyway, but would have preferred flying into Miami and drive the 4 hours to Key West across the causeway, which I hear is beautiful.
Instead it is about a 6 hour drive from Ft Lauderdale to Key West, which is about the same as Philadelphia to Boston. I will be putting my son's drivers license to use and making frequent stops.
One of many things I like about AirTran over USAir is the ability to cheaply fly round trip from different airports.
Still, it should be a lot of fun.
I just got an offer from a used PC dealer for a 300+ 128MB PC with CDROM and ethernet for $360 shipped. Its tempting.
