Arrived in Florida
Oct. 10th, 2011 08:40 pmAfter a bumpy flight, there was weather in Fort Lauderdale, so our approach was delayed. Then, part way through our first approach, they had to abort. Always fun. :) After more circling, we finally got down, about 45 minutes late.
Then, rental car was annoying -- first car didn't have remote lock/unlock. If you have a different car every week, a button that makes YOUR car turn its lights on in a parking lot is very useful. Very very useful. And, then the GPS unit wouldn't stay on its stand. *sigh*
Ah well, I did finally make it out of the airport -- but more than an hour later than expected.
And, being late, I grabbed food in the hotel restaurant. For after-dinner, they had a very limited selection of Scotch (Glen Livet and Glen Fiddich, both 12 year, both boring), but did have something like 4 different Ports, so I'm drinking a quite acceptable Dow's ruby.
