description: "AROUND THE U.S. IN 30 DAYS by H.K. WONGIN THE PAST COUPLE of issues, we covered New York and Boston. Today we continue on our trip. After a fast flight from Boston, we landed at the Miami International Airport, one of the three latest in the world. May Jewel and Lillian Gong met and took us to the newly built Dupont Plaza Hotel. The following morning Lillian drove us to Key West. The powerful Ford Galaxie sedan, placed at our disposal by the Ford Motor Co., gobbled up the 156 miles with ease. We traveled the length of the famed U.S. overseas Hiway No. 1 which leap frogs from key to key the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico on opposite sides. Along the route we stopped over at many beautiful keys and resort areas with their hotels, which is a house with a private dock, a garage at the back and a front deck for fishing. Key West is an old navy town on the southernmost point of the U.S.A. We rode a Conch train to the Gold Coast Navy Yard, famed tor its shrimp fleet, birthplace of Pan American Airways and picturesque points of interest. Key West is a peaceful place devoted to fishing, swimming and relaxation We were greeted by Mr. and Mrs. George Lee, who gifted us with slabs of frozen sharksfins. After a leisurely return drive, we attended a night football game in the Orange Bowl, U of Miami defeated Tulaine 26-7—only 3 blocks from the Gong house. (continues in p3-4, 15-17 & 29-30)"
