Fort Lauderdale Arrival

So we caught our flight to Houston without any issue. A two hour layover was the perfect amount of time to spend in the Houston airport. We arrived in terminal C and took a sky train to move to Terminal E. We found a Wendy's - our family favourite in the world of fast food. Then made our way over to the gate to catch our Ft Lauderdale flight. P even found a charging station to power up his Nintendo DS - his handheld gaming system.

P had a headache on the second flight. I think the sprite threw his sugar out of wack because we don't usually drink pop in our house. He felt better after snacking on a few almonds, drinking some water and putting his hood over his eyes in the dark cabin.

We arrived at the FLL airport about 11:15 pm. By the time we walked to the luggage carousel we found our four checked bags immediately ! No waiting at all! We then caught a cab to our hotel - the Hyatt Pier 66. JG was thrilled to drive in the car with the windows down in December! Temperature was about 76 Fahrenheit.

We are in the old section of the hotel (as I suspected we would be because I bought the rooms on Priceline.) Great price for what I think is a good location in the beach area. Downside is the rooms are not connecting and not feather free as requested for J.

What is exciting is the location on the water ! I hope the photo shows somebody's private yacht outside our balcony patio of the room! The hotel is situated on water canal that is serviced by water taxis!

Must get to sleep and adjust to the two hour time change!
