Extendedstay Ft. Lauderdale/Cypress Creek Pompano Beach

It's rare that we give up our seats when the Buckeyes play at home. We've missed the Ohio State - Michigan game only once. That was last year when we had a chance to do an 8 day cruise from Miami and had to watch the game onboard. This year the game is in Ann Arbor, so it really doesn't matter where we are at game time. However ...

Arrived safely, picked up a car, then headed straight to the Latin Cafe 2000 for lunch. The Latin Cafe is located on Le June, in the heart of Little Havana. Cuban food is a favoite of mine and I never miss a chance to go to a cuban restaurant. I've even arranged flight schedules so that there is time to go to one.

... 14 days. Time for actual embarkation but the party was cancelled due to gale force winds (thought we only had high winds in Saskatchewan?).



Getting ready for our first nights dinner, really notice the ship rocking. We’re the first to arrive at our table and kind of worried at who we’re going to sit with for the next two weeks. It ended up that we are sitting with a couple from Vancouver (Walter and ...

... his celebration drink on the outdoor patio.



Funny thing was we just had to watch him down his Effin Martini (thats the real name) then up the side of the tree....




Good game Saskatchewan!!!!!! Y'all deserve it.....Wish I was there (barely)

... snuggle...LOL) and we head off for the day. The weather was 27 degrees and awesme. Not speaking to one another (only out of pure hunger) we grabbed some lunch on the beach and started to walk as i crafted my parasailing dreams. The day was nice and we walked along the beach for the most part of it. At the end of it we witnessed a weddding on the beach, snuck into the Marriot and came back to the ...

... coast. Useful article for reading about the whale watching ...Also read that there were dolphins in this area, but not the pink ones. We will get to that later on.

53km northeast of Popayan continuing south past Cali lies the town of Silvia. Silvia is the center of the Guambianos,

I've been pretty amazed about Miami and Miami Beach. I was staying in a youth hostel in Miami Beach really cool, right next to the beach. Being so close to the beach means also being close to Ocean’s drive. The famous Avenue used in many movies included "Scarface" where happens the legendary chainsaw scene.



The beach is really nice, sport cars and high legged girls are all around, electronic music sounds good, a lot of ...

... 62s in the rally: Jerry and Con (short for Connie). While they had a pretty full boat of 5 people, Con and Jerry would see how they might re-arrange accommodations to fit us onto their vessel. Their vessel is bound for Bermuda/New Port RI instead of Gibraltar, we would still get a great opportunity for some blue water yachting and be with some really great people. So with some sacrifice of one of ...

... Burger King for almost 200 miles on a four lane highway, that could be a record for east of the Mississippi!!!! I did see two towns I thought had great names, Hot Coffee and Soso.. It was getting late and after looking at the map I thought I should stay in Laurel, LA, for if I rode further there may not be any motels at all.. I wanted to watch the Miami basketball game so I needed a TV plus there were no camps, ever on that road.. Left early ...
