AIR TIMES:

Little Palm Island (110)
Meet Katie and Steve, a Chicago couple traveling to the lower Florida Keys for a long-overdue vacation at the Little Palm Island Resort & Spa. Located 28.5 miles east of Key West, the island offers white sand beaches, romantic seclusion, and all the amenities of a four-star resort.

Join Katie and Steve as they take a scuba diving lesson in the resort's swimming pool, explore one of the top ten reefs in the world, go windsurfing, enjoy the spa's signature treatment, and enjoy some much-needed "R&R."
