While Our home town is measuring snow in feet, temperatures are in the low 70's
today in Ft Lauderdale.
Our hotel in Boca Raton might have been the best.
Our first group of friends we were traveling with went to Cape Canaveral and
stayed in a creepy hotel out of a 60's horror movie, but they made the best of
it by watching Star Trek on their laptop. Our second group of friends stayed at
the Swan at Disney but arrived late and their reserved room was gone. They were
given a room that didn't fit their family. After settling in, the fire alarm
went off at midnight and they had to evacuate. The next morning they had to
fight for refunds at Swan and for a better room. Considering the experiences of
our travel mates, we did OK.
Yesterday we needed some groceries so I
pulled into a store named "The bazaar" near Boca Raton. We walked in and my
daughter immediately said "this place smells like a combination of **** and
cinnamon". It was some kind of ethnic store with raw meet laying out. It was
scary so we immediately left.
Today we toured the Ft Lauderdale area
before checking into the hotel - a large room with two bedrooms, living room,
and kitchen!
Ft Lauderdale is like on a different planet. It is so very
different from anything I am used to in the north. It is completely beach
focused - from people riding bicycles with surf boards strapped to their back,
expensive restaurants with patrons in their beach attire, yachts, ferrari's,
porches, and lines of beach front condos towering into the sky and stretching
down the beach mile after mile.
The plan for tomorrow is do do absolutely
nothing. It sounds like a perfect plan, what could go wrong?
