Key West - The Wet Suits

The main purpose of our trip to Key West was to buy wet suits. Neither of us owned wet suits so after 15 minutes of self-serve, we sought the help of sales clerk. The young man available sniffled continuously as we asked him questions. He was not taught the fine art of blowing his nose but was educated in sucking it in. But I digress.

The selection was limited. We both chose two full length suits to try on in side by side 5’ X 5’ dressing rooms. Getting into a wet suit is extremely difficult for people who lack experience with girdles and pantyhose. I came to this conclusion from listening to the sounds coming out of the dressing room occupied by the Captain.

Each room had a folding chair with arms that took up half the space which added to the hilarity. I managed to knock my chair on its side while wiggling and laughing. So, I admit my dressing room wasn’t soundless but even without the assistance of a bed I managed to put on both suits before the Captain got the first one on, in the right direction.
