My last visit to the Keys before moving there was a memorable one. It was January and our area was locked in an unbearable cold front. At the last minute I booked a ticket to Key West and decided to stay at a clothing optional resort just off Duval St. named Deja Vu.
It is no longer there but at the time it was a rundown funky place where you could enjoy paradise sans clothes. When I checked in there was a little dog that kept barking at me. The owner assured me that he only barked at people wearing clothes and amazingly that turned out to be true. I was early for check in and my room wasn't ready, but he was nice enough to let me leave my bags behind the counter. I pulled a towel out of my suitcase and walked the few steps to the pool.
Deja Vu only had about a dozen rooms, so it was not crowded and very relaxing. The guests basking in the sunshine were typical for a nude/clothing optional place with most of them not what one would call "eye candy." I didn't care because I was more interested in letting the sun soak into my entire body.
There is nothing better than the feeling of hot sun warming your naked body after months of freezing your ass off. As I spread my towel out on a recliner, I thought to myself that I was done with being cold and determined I would finally take the plunge and quit my job and move to the keys.
Even though I had slathered on enough sunscreen for an elephant, after about two hours in the blazing tropical sun I was badly in need of a break. My room was ready, so I grabbed my bags from the office and headed there.
After a long shower to get all the sunscreen off, I walked over to Duval and began a leisurely stroll toward the Gulf of Mexico. Duval is an interesting street because you can walk all the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. It was almost four o'clock by the time I got to the west end of Duval and I was starving.
I popped into the bar side of Billie's for a bite. While eating I watched a couple of girls shooting pool in bikinis. They were only about 21 but were fun to look at. They finished their game about the time I finally managed to get all the grease off my hands from the best burger in Key West. Sadly, Billie's is no longer there, either.
The three of us happened to walk out at the same time and I fell into step behind them, admiring the view. They stopped to look at something in a window and I passed them as they both smiled at me. I veered off the street and hiked up the stairs to The Whistle Bar.
I was sitting on the balcony enjoying a cocktail and the circus that is nonstop on Duval when suddenly the bikini girls appeared with beers and plopped onto the stools next to me.
Key West is a very friendly town where it is easy to start up a conversation with anyone and the three of us ended up in one. It didn't take long for me to figure out that they acted as young as they looked, and I wished them a good afternoon and left. My full stomach and a few drinks were starting to make me sleepy, so I picked up a bottle from the liquor store and briskly walked back to my resort.
Afternoon was fading and I decided to make a drink and head to the hot tub. I dipped a toe in and was delighted to find a water temperature perfect for staying in for long periods of time. I waded in and the water made me forget I lived in the frozen north. My 5 am flight finally caught up to me and I headed to the room at about eight o'clock, determined to get a good night's sleep and tear it up tomorrow.
Since I crashed so early, I was up around five and walked up to the other end of Duval to enjoy the sunrise. It was glorious. Amazing what seeing the sun can do for you after living in a drab northern climate where you might not see it for months at a time.
I was determined to soak up as much of that yellow orb that I could on this short vacation. I vowed I wouldn't stray far from the pool on this day. On the way back I bought a tube of the highest SPF I could find. When I got back to the room I stripped down and liberally applied it to my entire body. The sun beckoned and I baked in the sun all day. I dozed off and on and felt like I was being recharged.
I alternated between my lounger, the pool and the hot tub for the whole afternoon. Around sunset I noticed a couple of new guests walking out from the office. Finally, I was going to have something worth looking at.
They went straight to their room and I sipped my cocktail hoping they were going to feel like hot tubbing and not heading out to party. After about 45 minutes they came walking out to the hot tub naked. As they stood at the edge I looked up and drank in her body. She was a slender girl with a nice firm ass and long nipples that looked like they were permanently erect. Standing above me, it was impossible not to notice that she had two rings in her right labia.
I tried not to stare as I moved over and welcomed them to the hot tub. There was one other couple at the far end of the tub, but she sat next to me with her man alongside her. They introduced themselves as Lexi and Dan from Indiana. I introduced myself and the small talk began. They were fun to talk to as both were intelligent and witty.
They had cocktails with them but mine was empty, so I excused myself to the room to make another. I decided to bring the whole bottle of Maker's Mark back out with me so I wouldn't have to leave the pool area again.
