Mobile is the county town of Mobile County, Alabama, in the United States. The population within the city limits was 195,111 at the time of the 2010 United States Census, making it the third most populous city in Alabama, the most populous in Mobile County, and the largest town on the Gulf Coast between New Orleans, Louisiana, and St. Petersburg, Florida. Alabama’s only saltwater port, Mobile is located at the head of Mobile Bay on the north-central Gulf Coast. The Port of Mobile has always played a key role in the city’s economic health, from its early days as an important trading centre between the French and Native Americans to its current role as the 12th-largest port in the United States. Mobile is the main town in the Mobile Metropolitan Statistical Area. This region of 412,992 residents is made up solely of Mobile County; it is the third-largest metropolitan statistical area in the state. Mobile is the largest city in the Mobile–Daphne–Fairhope combined statistical area (CSA), with a total population of 604,726, the second largest in the state. As of 2011, the population within a 60‑mile (100 km) radius of Mobile is 1,262,907. Mobile began as the first capital of colonial French Louisiana in 1702. During its first 100 years, Mobile was a colony of France, then Britain, and finally Spain. Mobile first became part of the United States of America in 1813, with the annexation of West Florida under President James Madison. In 1861 Alabama joined the Confederate States of America, which surrendered in 1865. As one of the Gulf Coast’s cultural centres, Mobile has several art museums, a symphony orchestra, a professional opera company, a professional ballet company, and a large concentration of historic architecture. Mobile is known for having the oldest organised Carnival celebrations in the United States. The festival began to be celebrated in the first decade of the 18th century by its first French Catholic colonial settlers. Mobile was home to the first formally organised Carnival mystic society, known elsewhere as a krewe, to celebrate with a parade in the United States, beginning in 1830. In 2005 the first integrated mystic society held a parade for Mardi Gras.

Situated closer to Cuba than to Miami, Key West is Florida’s cheeky southernmost subtropical haven, a unique blend of history, climate, natural beauty, cultural diversity, architecture and unashamed romantic allure. Palm-lined streets with gingerbread mansions and tin-roofed conch houses were once the abode of Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Frost and Jimmy Buffett, a handful of the famous folk who found comfort and inspiration in the island city whose Bahamian and Cuban heritage was largely influenced by Bahamian wreckers, commercial fishermen, spongers and Cuban cigar makers.
