Yesterday we drove 250 miles down to Fort Lauderdale, FL to attend the 48th Annual International Boat Show. The weather and traffic was great until we got into West Palm Beach where we encountered a lot of road construction and heavy traffic. We arrived at the Motel 6 in Fort Lauderdale and luckily got a room on the first floor. I was excited, the a/c and TV worked great. Today you would have thought Florida had never received a rain. It rained so hard, you could almost swim in the motel parking lot. After about 15 minutes, the rain died down, and off we went to the boat show. The convention center had two floors with lots and lots of vendors. We looked at a few boats, and did so much walking, Kenny may have to carry me home ha ha. We took the water taxi up the inter-coastal waterway, and saw so many yachts and beautiful homes, it made the rain tolerable. Again many buildings with lots of vendors, but the rain was coming down hard, and it was impossible to enjoy the show, wet and tired with not too many places to sit down, we decided to come back to the hotel around 6pm and ordered Chinese food. Kenny and I enjoyed a couple of drinks, and watched some TV. Saturday we will return to Brandon, where it is supposed to rain again. Oh well, we will live to go another day I suppose. Our spirits are doing better and we are over the Windjammer cruise drama. It is a shame that we can't take the cruise, but we will do something else, life is a bit strange at times, and I suppose we wern't meant to take this cruise. Sucks, but could be worse I guess.
