Fort Lauderdale Day 2

 It was a beautiful 74° day today and a bit windy. We spent the day shopping for supplies for a four month cruise. First stop was Costco – – and I have never seen a Costco that crowded. Fortunately, we didn’t have that much stuff to get and we were in and out pretty fast. Then we hit Walmart and Walgreens and managed to find two very nice pool noodles at Leslie’s Pool Supply as there are no pool noodles to be found this time of year except there.

This is the days haul!

If any of you have been here during “season,“ the traffic is unbelievable.  Five lanes of traffic on surface street going in each direction, bumper-to-bumper; traffic lights that take forever to turn, and while driving, it’s almost like an E ticket ride adventure.


Of course we had to eat and the kids have some favorite spots that they like.  We went to a Mexican restaurant for lunch and a really cool dive bar on the beach for dinner and were treated royally.
