Welcome to Dr. Mary Travelbest: In this episode:  The FAQs are: Which route did you take and how long did it take you? The destination is Florida Keys. The Mistake-.Deleting the important apps for travel. Travel Advice- Gargle with diluted to 1% hydrogen peroxide for fresh breath and reduce sore throat. FAQs: These are asked by many who want to travel. They see a destination and they ask someone who's been there. "Which route did you take and how long did it take you?"    Have you asked these questions before? I have. It's always a good idea to ask about others' travels before you go, so you can gather important details and educate yourself on the options available. That's why Dr Travelbest has this guide for you. It's a data point that you need before you make your dream trips come true. For example, I'm looking at a woman who just arrived at Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest mountain and the world's largest free-standing mountain.  She's fulfilling a lifetime dream. Other women want to know, how did she get there? They ask because someday, perhaps, they will also make that journey. Whatever your dream destination is, Dr Travelbest will be a guidepost for your travels. Keep listening and asking these questions. https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/kilimanjaro/ Today's Episode Destination:  Florida Keys   Tucked away in the southeastern corner of the USA, Florida Keys are a world of their own. The flight from the mainland, drive from Miami or the ferryboat from Naples, Florida are three common ways to arrive and depart. I chose to drive so I would have a car to explore while there. My favorite swimming spot was the middle key, Isla Morada.  https://www.islamorada.fl.us/   My favorite kayaking spot was John Pennekamp State Park, with a beautiful coral reef to see as a snorkeler, too. Check out the mangroves here. I hope to return here soon. https://pennekamppark.com/ If you're thinking about the Florida Keys for a visit, go ahead and make your plans. One great logistics piece is you won't get lost here, since there is only one way in and one way out and all roads lead to Key West.  https://www.keywesttravelguide.com/5-tourist-traps-to-avoid-on-your-key-west-vacation/ https://keywestattractions.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/KWAA-new-map.pdf   Key West was full of tourists and not my favorite part of the trip, but you should stop in for some historical perspective and flavor of the largest of the islands. Duval Street is the place to be seen, with restaurants, bars, and galleries in abundance, plus pickpockets. Hemmingway used to live here, and there are some stories still to be told, about the beautiful sunsets and southernmost location on the mainland of the USA. If staying in Key West, be prepared to pay more than double or triple a room than the other keys. It's economics of supply and demand.   https://www.visitflorida.com/en-us/cities/florida-keys.html   Bahia Honda State Park is known to be the nicest beach on the keys. Sandspur Beach is also worth a visit as is Big Pine Key for snorkeling and seeing tiny key deer. When you come, be sure to order a Cuban sandwich and key lime pie. If you like swimming, fishing or scuba, there's plenty to do here.   Today's Travel Advice-Gargle with hydrogen peroxide Rinse your mouth. Use a 1% diluted amount and be sure not to swallow any of it. You will find your breath is better, your teeth are cleaner and whiter, and your sore throat may be feeling relieved.  https://www.healthline.com/health/gargling-hydrogen-peroxide#benefits Website Drmarytravelbest.com Mary Beth on Twitter Dr. Mary Travelbest Twitter  Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram
