Our Florida layover began on Tuesday morning when we disembarked in Ft Lauderdale. The ship is on a five day private charter so although we were able to leave one large suitcase and two shipping boxes on board, we had to vacate.
We are making our temporary home at the West Palm Beach Marriott which we selected because it's close to the home of cruise pals Jim and Diana Blundell. We've spent two fun days visiting them and seeing first hand where they spend the winter.
We've made a trip to Target to purchase those essentials we forgot. Dick finally succumbed to the cold I gave him so with luck that will be behind both of us by the time we begin the South America trip on Sunday.
Saturday we depart our West Palm Beach "home" and head for a Miami hotel. We will spend the night there, attend the Regent hosted Saturday night bon voyage party and then reboard the ship on Sunday.

Travellers hint: Don't try to pick up a rental car on the day of the Orange Bowl!
