Ft. Lauderdale should be rechristened Ft. Yachterdale. There are more yachts per capita here than in any other US city. Even without a yacht, we had a wonderful time. The unit featured a huge wrap-around terrace so we had terrific views from the 19th floor of the Hilton Ft. Lauderdale Beach Hotel.
Here are some additional shots from the condo. The concierge desk was very helpful and since we spent a day in Miami, she gave us some hints on how to see the most in the day we had.
We saw multi-million dollar homes owned by our nation's richest families. Incredible housing projects (!). The water Taxi takes you through the canals of "Venice of America" and the backyards of the homes seem to be more important than the front since that's where there boats are!!
Miami was about money and tall buildings. Not quite as many yachts.
What a way to relax. I'll bet "Flo" was the hit of every place you visited. How did you find her, you must share :)
ReplyDeleteLove you guys,

Flo came from Florida, dah! Rosie you should have known that! ;-) I mean she would be called Nor if she came from North Carolina. We found her abandoned in a gift shop and took her in-- only for one night I implored YET she is with us full-time now. In all her pinkness.
ReplyDeleteHi-It’s always SO much fun to see photos from your trips! I tried posting before but it looks like it didn’t work (my internet connection has been awful lately). So, hopefully this message will go through! You--and Flo—look like you had a blast! She must have been your good luck charm since you came out ahead at the casino! I had never heard about the Venice of America—it definitely looks a little different than the other Venice (rainy!). And the yachts . . . wow! Looks like you got some great pics and had a lot of fun. Hope it was relaxing! So, when’s the next trip and where are you going??? :) Michelle
