January 3, 2018

We arrived Ft Lauderdale, yesterday about 4:30 pm, we were supposed to arrive much earlier, but between the rain and the idiots, driving crazy, and having accidents it added about an hour and a half to our ETA. we did arrive safe and that’s really all that matters. 

Last night we partook of the club room, and eat there hors d’oeuvres, well something didn’t fair well in my body, so I was not well most of the night.  But hay it could get worse......  any way this morning I was better, and even managed to eat breakfast from the club room, and all was fine. 
It again started rainy about the time we wanted to go out, so the ideal a of walking was out of the question and it was cold so we got the car and drove the very walkable distance to Total Wine, TjMax, (for a backpack to carry the wine)then Publics, all next door to each other, and then to Walgreens. After that, Ed took me back to the hotel, and he went almost next door,,, to the Hilton to return the car to Enterprise. Oh and for future reference there is a Buget Rental right here beside the Renaissance Cruise port Hotel.  Cool this is a good place to stay. 

Now we are going to have dinner at the Boat Yard restaurant and that too is walkable. So until later.

New Year’s Eve

This is our First World Cruise, so right now trepidation is setting in,,, have I done everything,,,, will I get back in one pice,,,, do I really want to be gone for 4 months???  We have grand kids, we will miss, very much,,, what were we thinking when we booked this cruise?
We have been on long cruises, 59 days going around South America, and we just did the Fire & Ice Cruise this summer, that was 36 days and then a week in UK, and 7 days on the Queen Mary,, but now 113 days,,,,, oh my. 

We will celebrate the new year with our neighbors, but will probably not make midnight as we have a five AM get up in the morning.
