We are offering a
Caribbean cruise that includes a port stop in Key West, Florida. We originally
planned to sanction this walk for just the one day (Tuesday, May 8, 2012) the
cruise ship would be in port. However, we chose to sanction it as a nine-month
seasonal event to allow more walkers an opportunity to walk this unique and very
interesting city.
