Small as expected, but with everything we needed. The balcony was normal size, but  not directly at the water line. There was the emergency boats two level lower. The view was still great.

we stayed in the hampton near the airport. Right in between the Int'l and the westshore shopping centers.
We really liked the shuttle from the airport and from the hotel to the shopping malls

Tampa

We just walked around along Duval St to the Southernmost point. Nice walk.

Key West

Glass bottom boat was great to see the reef. I do not recommend for people who have walking problems. Also went to a village and to a cameo store, not really interesting.

hired the taxi driver for 4 hours, really recommend Tours plaza. we went to a local market, to San Gervasio mayan ruins and to Punte Del Sur Nat'l Park to see the great beach and the lighthouse. Great view from the top of the lighthouse. 
If we go back one day, we will try to do a beach break.

You get into waist high water and touch and kiss a Dolphin. the trainer was great with good info.

the guides were great. You get in the water with rays swimming around you. a little intimidating, but very nice.

we saw two good comedians, a good joggler and a nice singer/entertainer.After getting great food the first two nights in Chops and Giovanni, the MDR was really a big drop off in food quality and taste.
