Speechless Sundays - Travelogue 2018 (Fort Lauderdale)

Nearly a year before our trip, Ray plans everything to a 't' - I just go along for the ride! Last month, we arrived to our beachfront hotel suite to find it 'not so' handicapped at all! There were features but, the bathroom is always the issue with a lot of hotels. This particular hotel, we hadn't expected any glitches.

 

We dropped off our suitcases and joined our friends for cocktails, a little shopping and later, dinner. After dinner, we went back to the hotel and asked for a different room. There was not an oceanfront handicapped room available so, since we were setting sail the next day and it was already dark, we didn't really mind.

Instead, we enjoyed this gorgeous view from our room & balcony!

Fort Lauderdale Views

I will eventually get to doing a timelapse of the moon as it fell below the horizon right before our very eyes - neither of us had ever seen that before! We were actually thrilled to have this view - had we not moved rooms, we would never had been able to sit on our balcony and watch!

Have a great week everyone!

That is indeed a beautiful view, Debbie.  It appears to be facing west over the Intracoastal Waterway. 

I hope you had a Happy Mother's Day and next time you're in Fort Lauderdale, please call.  I'd love to stop by and meet you, even for just a few minutes (if you have time.)

That's a very special view, Debe.  I haven't been to Fort Lauderdale, but my son has, and says it is a wonderful place.

Oh my goodness, you're kidding me, Endre Barath, Jr.?! We are living totally similar lives on opposite coasts - twins, separated at birth, perhaps?! We'll figure this out one day! LOL

Oh, Elyse Berman, PA, I should have but, we were there for such a short period of time! I learned after talking to Wayne Martin that I needed to phone you! 

But, what a gorgeous area you live in - I could get used to those views every day, for sure!

No worries Debe Maxwell, CRS - next time!  We had such a good time when Wayne Martin was here.  Kathy Streib is wonderful at putting together meet ups.  It was the three of us and Donald Urschalitz .  What great conversation we had!


Understandable!  You're right- it's very easy to get used to living in south Florida!

It absolutely is gorgeous, Myrl Jeffcoat! I think I could make living there work...perhaps retirement?! Getting my native Charlottean out of Charlotte will be a challenge though! LOL

And, that was before the trip began too, Sally K. & David L. Hanson! We joked that this was only the beginning of amazing sunsets to come and we were not disappointed!

Happy Monday!

Love those sunsets while looking over the ocean.  There is nothing like it.

Good morning Debe.  I far prefer the view of our rivers to that of the ocean.  I find much more to see.

That is still quite a view and sounds like you made it work, some people would have not been able to let it go and it would have soured their vacation.

Oh, I agree, James Dray - we saw many of those while on our vacation this year too - they disappear too quickly though!

Debe Maxwell, CRS - What a beautiful photograph and vacation. I'll be looking forward to the "timelapse of the moon as it fell below the horizon."

Your man is a perfectionist and plans the perfect vacations! May you have many, many more.
