Even when the town had it at a later point, my dad was in lots of hesitation to get it.. for the reason being, it would mess with my education but still we got it. It didn&#8217;t take long for me to get my eyes stuck to Star Movies most of the time. And most of the Arnold Schwarzenegger movies were in the pre-approved list for me and my sister to watch as they were unbelievably action packed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This whole run back in history is only to mention, that&#8217;s how i ended up watching Arnold&#8217;s <a title=\"IMDB Link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0111503\/\">TRUE LIES<\/a>. I still remember my first time watching the movie&#8217;s climax&#8230; &#8220;OMG..where in the world is this bridge..built on a sea?&#8221; Years later, when i realized what Google is(!)&#8230; I did figure out where the bridge was and trip to see the bridge became one of my &#8216;To-do&#8217; things when i came here to uncle Sam&#8217;s land. And here you go&#8230; Now ya&#8217;ll know my reason to visit <a title=\"Link to Google Maps\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps\/place?ftid=0x88d1b134ad952377:0x3fcee92f77463b5e&amp;q=Key+West,+FL&amp;hl=en&amp;ved=0CA0Q-gswAA&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=BNZOTqaRNoOGywXX6IzPBQ\" target=\"_blank\">Key West, Florida<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I did make sure my trip had a drive through the overseas bridge&#8230;To and Fro. Key West is a place where you certainly get to see a huge variety of people from all over the world. I ended up eating a lot of sea food and met a whole lot of nice people who were so nice to interact with.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Para-sailing, Jet skiing, diving,\u00a0snorkeling\u00a0and what not&#8230;(Mom, if you are reading this&#8230; Yes, I ended up swimming in the sea again!..) I have only seen coral reef on Discovery and never this close. The coral reefs were just breath taking and i can just swim around and do it all day and btw..seeing a coral reef that close was one among the 50 things to do before i turn 30.. yaaaay&#8230; I would love to go back to this place again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The place was fun.. fun and fun only&#8230; nuff said&#8230; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u00a0traveled\u00a0with all my photo gear. and It&#8217;s time to test the motorized dolly i built for video. Yes, the video is coming on in a post later. I know,enough of talking..
