My place of employment has an opening in Marathon Florida. I was thinking about putting in for it. Slim chance of getting it, but I figured it can't hurt to try.

Pros:

Scenery
fishing
relaxing
Great SBI venue
far yet close

Cons:
not much happening except the above

Um it's warm in the winter, there's some water there and usually sunny. nuff said, next step apply.

Hmmmm.....Marathon, Philly. Tough choice.

Marathon = Heaven on earth

Lucky dude! A few years ago I made arrangements to fly down there to check out a house with a drive on grass airstrip in the front yard and clean canal moorage in the backyard. Sadly it was sold within 2 days, and by the time I got there, the new owner already had a nice Beech staggerwing parked under it. What was the asking price on the house? 300k AAAArrrrrggg! Sometimes it is worth buying sight unseen. My last best shot at the affordable dream house. Likely worth three times + that now.

I looked at houses in Marathon and local Keys in 1994

Go,, Go,, Go!!! The largest of the Fla Keys Islands,, has a air strip with commuter planes ,, great rest . and bars and great weather ,, 50miles north of Key West ,,,, Whats the question??

My favorite is the movie "palace" with tables and booze service!

Yeah, heard a guy in new P car hit 185 MPH on that bridge, while on a demo drive!
