It’s hard to imagine a more perfect setting than Key West for a multi-generational family reunion, especially when winter blasts the northern states.
It has everything you could hope for: balmy weather most of the year, beaches and water sports, museums and historic sites, good restaurants and a wide variety of accommodations, from resort hotels and quaint bed-and-breakfasts to vacation homes. We found a “compound” big enough to accommodate 26 members of our family, with a main house, cottage and two condos centered on a pool. It was central enough to allow us to walk or bike to most places we wanted to go.
I’d have to say that my two favorite destinations were the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum and Dry Tortugas National Park. For more on what to do in Key West and why I think it’s a natural for family reunions, read my article in gettingontravel.com (which has sadly ceased publication so I’ve provided a PDF):
