December 26th - Fort Lauderdale

At 3:00 am this morning yes I said 3:00 am we had a couple of guys knock on our door which was not the door they were looking for.  Then the alarm went off at 5:30 because Roger was going to go deep sea fishing but of course I could not go back to sleep.  He left a 6:30 and was rewarded with a beautiful sunrise.







Amanda texted me at 7:30 and we went down for breakfast before heading out for some shopping.












It saved us a lot of money shopping here in Florida because we saw a lot of things that if getting them home wasn't an issue we would have bought them.











It was bad enough that we had to haul what we did get all the way back to the hotel, of course we pushed the cart as far as we could.











While we were out shopping Roger was enjoying the Atlantic Ocean.  Which was about all he did because they never even got a bite.











He ran into a commute problem, we are not used to back home, on his way back to the hotel.....a draw bridge.  Well we timed our excursions pretty well because as we were trying on our purchases of the day Roger texted to see where we were and was heading up the elevator.  We went for lunch at a Cuban restaurant we had gone to after our cruise last year.






Then Amanda and I went and got our nails done.  Due to a finger injury she received last week she only got a pedicure but I got my nails done and a pedicure.






I am all sparkley  for the New Year.








Of course we are not ones to ever miss a meal especially if it is free so when we got back to the hotel they were having their social time.  You can tell we are also very social.....only if it is through electronic devices.











They had a nacho bar along with chicken tortilla soup with peanut butter cookies for dessert and you could have your choice of wine or beer.








After we finished eating we set out to find our mardi gras beads that we forgot at home but need for our Cruise Critic meet & greet that we are having on the Carnival Miracle.
