Sun-N-Fun 2011, March 29-April 03: maybe this should be called "Sog and Bog", or "Soak N Float" (SNF)... Tornado on Thursday March 31, 2011 where over 60 aircraft were destroyed or severely damaged. On Sunday, April 03 2010 we flew from Bartow (KBOW) FL to Key West (KEYW) FL, lunch at "The 6 Toed Cat", next to Hemingway's home/museum. This was the time to be in Key West... apparently this is "end of season" and most things were on sale... t-shirts $5 for anything in the store.
