The book I checked out form library is the edition I chose on Goodreads but it is a hardback with 431 pages, there is no Goodreads option for that and I don't feel like making a new one that won't have the picture on it so I'm just noting it in my review. So far I've just been browsing through the book at lots of information they have in this book. I think a lot of it is probably out of date but still much useful and entertaining information.

Full of good, practical advice, especially section of renting vs buying. The best part for me was their initial RV funny experiences - wish there was more of that in the book.

If you are planning a trip to Key West, this is the book for you. I can hardly wait to visit after reading this book! Seafood, beaches, and Key Lime Pie ... Does life get better than that?
