After a long night trying to get caught up/ahead of my work, Tom and I left for Florida. The good news is that we used frequent flier miles to pay for our flight. The bad news is that we were boxed into connecting flights through Dulles and thus ended up traveling most of the day.
We finally arrived in the late afternoon in Miami and spent a good 40 minutes wandering around the airport trying to find the proper path to the car rental companies. I guess we should have read the fine print -- they're off-airport. Even better, the streets surrounding their neighborhood were under significant construction, and within minutes we knew we would never find our way back through the detours. That made a last-minute decision to pay $12/day for a GPS system easy...and it paid for itself within the first 15 minutes getting us out of a rather crummy neighborhood and on our way to our hotel in Ft. Lauderdale.
Low key evening spent driving from our Marriott (thank you again, frequent stay miles!) to have dinner at our friends' digs at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. I think I created a new world record for successfully losing $20 in a slot machine in about 70 seconds. Gambling has never been my forte. Early night tonight -- big day fishing tomorrrow!
