...to Ft. Lauderdale

And the whole place is a sauna. I thought it would be like Hawaii, but, no. Much hotter wetter. 

Number 1 Son and Number 1 Daughter-in-Law met us at the airport and we're staying in a nice Best Western Hotel near the airport and the cruise port. We didn't ever go to bed that night, since we had to leave home at 5:15 am. 

It was a heroic and MUCH-appreciated 5-hour drive for them to get here, and a 5:35 hrs flight for us. It reminded us why we don't ever want to fly anywhere if there's any alternative. Cruise ships are getting very busy, last minute deals are harder to get. More likely, the cheaper cabins get sold out. That's already happened to the Celebrity cruise from Rome to FL that we wanted to take. It looks like we might have to take the same Oasis ship back, even tho it's too early and it leaves from Southampton. 

We had a marvelous dinner last night, Mexican+, and now we have a day to enjoy with Rick and Karen and do a little last-minute shopping.
