Technically, Art.... Being born here makes you a Conch. Living here makes you a local. Surviving here after seven years makes you a Fresh Water Conch. Being a tourist has NO negative connotation!

Of course, being a butthead regardless of where someone lives, how long they've been there or how often they've visited still makes them a butthead. They can't be helped. Lol

For a nice sunset dinner cruiese we have enoyed the Sunset Culinare several times, only drawback is they don't go from Old Town. Food and atmospher are fantastic.

I had a wonderful lunch at Latitudes this week, and it couldn't have been nicer! The food was terrific, the view was gorgeous. I actually called and got a reservation the same day (Open Table was not showing any for that day) so if you don't see a time you want it can't hurt to call. And lunch there is so affordable!

Absolutely, Seabus! The first time we went to Latitudes, we also scored a reservation the same day by walking into the Westin and seeing the concierge. Lunch at Latitudes is so good!

You sound like precisely the kind of visitor who would benefit from the train in that you want to learn all about the island. You also sound like you will not have a car and want to get around and see more than Old Town so the train sounds like a plan. I was a different kind of visitor in that I most like the recreational features (parasail, golf, sunset celebration, sunset sails, pool, tennis, karaoke, music, snorkel, sunrise walks, bicycle, maybe even a couple of hours at the beach) that are not the point of the train experience. Someday I might do the train or even the Audabon or Hemingway houses if there's a rainy day, but that is just me.

Unlike a lot of visitors I'm also not a big foodie, but I am a big fan of Latitudes. Still, I never appreciated why sunset dinner is so important. To me there is sunset and then there is dinner and I do not see why it is absolutely necessary to combine them. There are lots of ways to enjoy the sunset -- my favorite is the sunset sail -- and there are plenty of good restaurants. As others have said, lunch at Latitudes is great. I do it every year and I do not feel especially deprived by not having the same spot at sunset. Other sunset dining spots that I've seen touted on TA include Louie's and Trattoria Oceanside, and I'm sure there are others as well. I haven't been to any of these places for a sunset, but my basic point is that KW has so many different venues and activities that you need not get locked into any one thing, and if you miss something you really wanted, just leave it for the next trip.

Another vote for Hot Tin Roof. Excellent view, exceptional food. I've only done lunch at Latitude's, but their food was excellent as well, and the daytime view is also quite beautiful.

And definitely take a trolley or train tour. You will not be disappointed.
