We finally made it to Fort Lauderdale yesterday - the flight had to circle for about an hour due to strong winds and a rainstorm in Fort Lauderdale, but we eventually made it unscathed, and more surprisingly, all of our luggage made it too! By the time we hit the ground the rain had stopped and the sun was coming out. We were treated to cool breezes and a lovely 22 degrees. The hotel is nice, and very close to both the airport and the port, so it makes it pretty much hassle-free to get around. Today we did the last little bit of shopping we had left to do. I finally found some sandals to fit my giant size 11 feet, so I am now a happy camper. Mum and I discovered an awesome German restaurant just down the street from our hotel, so we enjoyed a delicious dinner there - you know Mary Ellen is in holiday mode when you catch her with a beer in her hand! We had our final talk with Adam and Kristian (final until we reach Rome in May, I mean) and now have nothing to do but sit back, relax, and repack in the morning. I am going to be so glad to finally get on the ship and unpack these suitcases for a nice LONG time!
