Off again. Today we flew to Fort Lauderdale. 12:55 PM flight on Jet Blue in their new Mint class. Lie flat seats, plenty of leg room, and more than decent food. We left on time and arrived 30 minutes early at 6:30 PM. The food service is interesting: four small plates of which you can select three. I chose Radicchio Salad with Apples & Prosciutto and Rigatoni in Parmesan Cheese Sauce. Yes, I chose just two! And then there was vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce for dessert.
Our hotel, the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort, is not far from the airport and I thought I knew the way. I didn’t. After getting lost, I resorted to Google Maps and we were quickly at the hotel. Nice room on the ocean on the 14th floor. We quickly found the (nearly empty) beach bar where we enjoyed some ice-cold Coronas and some food (a trio of dips with an added queso blanco and a medley of sea food including fish, shrimp, and calamari. Then it was quickly off to bed.
It’s Thursday morning as I write this. We’ll have a quiet day in Fort Lauderdale. We board the ship on Friday. Here are a few pictures from our balcony taken at 6:30 AM. See you again tomorrow.
Yay. They’re off again and the blog is back. Hi everyone.
Wow, Joe and Elaine, that food on the plane actually looks good. From what I hear from other fliers, food is pretty much non-existent or horrible. However, it doesn’t sound as good as what you had at the beach bar.
Nice views from the balcony. Great picture of you, Elaine, sitting in front of the Christmas-lit palm trees.
Have a fabulous trip. Bon voyages. Travel safe.
What a great first day…Cheers!
On your way again. Jeff and Sue, Bill and I wish you a Merry Christmas. Do you have much snow yet? We still have none (except for mtns) and our temps have been in the high 60s. So unusual for Colorado. Look forward to your trip Joe and Elaine. I agree with Sue, love the lit palm trees.
Merry Christmas to you and Bill as well. Yes we have snow but a warm temp and rain event is coming in tonight/tomorrow so we’ll probably lose it all. Hopefully we get more before Christmas.
Bon voyage tomorrow! Have a super time. Will watch for your daily updates. CHEERS!!
Keep living it up! Does Elaine even age? Sheesh! Beautiful lady! Merry Christmas you love birds!
