Whats the best way to survive living in Key West? -

My husband is in the military and we just got orders to Key West, does anyone have any advice on living in the Florida Keys? Also, I m pregnant and we are required to be there 1 month before the baby is due, so that rules out the partying, Thank you for any help you can give!

Lower Keys Medical Center is the hospital in Key West. I don t know what time of the year you are moving, but the weather is great there during the winter months. Sunny, 80 degrees and no rain. You did not say whether you will be in base housing or looking for a place to live off base. If you are off base, try and find a home that has hurricane shutters. You are surrounded by water in Key West and there is only 1 road in/out of the Keys. If they order an evacuation it can take ALL day to get to the mainland. Take hurricane season seriously. Ask others on the base what supplies you will need to keep on hand.

When they say there s a hurricane evacuation.....EVACUATE.
