Going to Fort Lauderdale a few days before our cruise departed was a great idea. Gail used her expiring United Mileage to upgrade us to First Class. As we had two extra suitcases for bridge this saved us a lot. We stayed at the Harbor Beach Marriott which was a birthday present from Gail.
It was a trip back in time for me as I previously spent many memorable weeks there while cruising. We visited all the old haunts and took a water taxi tour of the inland waterway. On our last night we went to Coconuts to celebrate Gail’s birthday with lobster.
