Iceland! Wow, good for you. It%26#39;s warm, our average is 77 F, but I expect you want a warm destination. I can%26#39;t speak to the B%26amp;B because I live here. Mosquitos are here all year (except this week....we%26#39;re cold) but usually only around sunset, and a little spray takes care of the problem. Perhaps you%26#39;ve seen video of people slapping themselves....it%26#39;s not that bad, you%26#39;re in a city environment.

There%26#39;s a great opportunity for diving, you can get certified in a 3 day course, or you can sign up for a 1 day ';resort course'; and dive right away to one atmosphere (33 feet) which is plenty for color and reef diving. Snorkeling is everywhere too if diving is too much trouble. Our reef is zero to 30 feet deep, no training, plenty of helpful boat trips get there everyday.

Ask more! Hope your trip is great.

Diving in the keys is great for beginners,no current and shallow.

Most dives are 45%26#39; max depth. If you haven%26#39;t been diving for a while do a check out dive to make sure you are weighted properly and all youe rented gear works right and you are comfertable. If you are a real beginner ( never been diving before) take the time to take to get certified,the keys is an easy place to learn.


Hi Fossdal,

Iceland to nice land Key West. We go down to Key West in May (this year 23 to June 2).

The weather is 85 degrees day and 75 at night, give or take a degree or two. Some days are humid but with a breeze. We always stay at a place with a pool. I am not sure the Avalon has a pool but you are close to the Beach. We stay at B%26amp;B鈥檚 but never at the Avalon. We have never had a problem with mosquitos in Key West.

Sorry can鈥檛 help with diving. PJ


Thanks for the info.

keywestaxi you say its cold now in key west, it麓s 32 fahrenh. is icleland now and thats not so cold :o)

I will be on a rental car this may, is it hard to find parking in ket west ? is there any long term parking lots ? What if been reading you can walk any were in key west.


The Avalon is in the 1300 block of Duval, our main drag. It used to be Alexander%26#39;s, I think. Obviously 13 blocks to the other end, and all the bars/restaurants are in between. I don%26#39;t think you need the car. Parking up there isn%26#39;t bad, but it%26#39;s another $200 out. If you%26#39;re comfortable walking or even renting bicycles for $10 a day delivered, lose the car.


Avalon B %26amp; B - Great Chpice, excellent location and a little less expensive than some other b %26amp; B%26#39;s.

Be sure to check out the butterfly conservatory right across the street
