We took a detour off of Highway 1 on Card Sound Road to have lunch at a place called Alabama Jack’s.  It was a busy place right on the water with a band.  Fun place but we had the worst waitress we’ve ever had.  Took forever to get our food.  We had conch fritters and crab cakes; they were just okay.  The place was especially popular with bikers.</p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:66721397-FF69-4ca6-AEC4-17E6B3208830:27893dda-ee05-48b4-83e3-67cb771eb79a" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><a style="border:0px" href="http://cid-c3e5f21edcf1d476.skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?page=browse&resid=C3E5F21EDCF1D476!1733&ct=photos"><img style="border:0px" alt="View Alabama Jacks" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_10GvEiT1cAw/SgR6nLsw2JI/AAAAAAAABcM/PArVL-1lj_g/InlineRepresentation2bbb34447c2d4dc2.jpg?imgmax=800" /></a><div style="width:474px;text-align:right;" ><a href="http://cid-c3e5f21edcf1d476.skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?page=browse&resid=C3E5F21EDCF1D476!1733&ct=photos">View Full Album</a></div></div> <p>Go to Key Largo and checked into the Marriott.  It’s a nice place right on the bay;
