It was an enormous boat…
I mean the Queen Mary is really, really huge, and beautiful.
Plus, we got to see some dolphins.
Also across the ocean, London rings near and dear to the Keys heart.
Its both the spot of some favorite holiday memories as well as a future bucket list item.
“I would like to be in London when it snows one day.
I know its rare, but Id really like to experience that.
With Keegan-Michael Key
Which ‘Wonka’ character would you want and not want as a travel companion?
Maybe if we were traveling by convertible it could work.
Got to have my nuts.
Aisle or Window seat?
Favorite location he’s ever filmed for a show or movie?
Gosh there are so many great studios out there.
But FOX Studios in L.A.
I was able to stay in a hotel next door to the studio I was working in.
It was amazing that I could walk to work every day and that was a wonderful experience.
Do you get to the airport super early?
I do like to be early, so then I dont have to stress.
Im an “early arriver” for sure.
Celeb Check-in
Getting from coast-to-coast, Key has a few travel essentials.
Number one on the list?
Its a must, he said.
I need those, and I need something to read.
Also, I really dont like to fly without my wife.
She is something and someone I really dont like to travel without.
As for his travel deal breakers, the list is short but he is passionate about them.
I think the phrase pet peeves answers the question, he said with a laugh.
I was surprised the first time I visited the town where we live.
