Today is our last full day in Ft. Lauderdale. After completing chores and taking care of online business we did venture out for some local shopping. On our way home we stopped in at Smoke On The Water cigar bar and grill in Weston. We enjoyed cocktails and soaked up the ambiance of this fun place.

Today we visited the Everglades Holiday Park west of Ft. Lauderdale and enjoyed our first airboat ride. This was a welcome one hour thrill and was well worth it. Our tickets included a live alligator viewing and presentation after our boat ride. A fun experience. #Airstream

Today is Caroline’s 66th birthday and time to leave Key West and drive back to the Airstream in Ft. Lauderdale. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay topped off with a delicious fresh seafood dinner at the Stoned Crab restaurant at our resort. We both had lobster alfredo and shared a slice of key lime pie.

Today we took a self guided walking tour of the downtown area. We took in the shops on Duval street and enjoyed a guided tour of the Earnest Hemingway house. It was fun to see many of the 59 resident cats relaxing on the property. After that we stopped in at the Bahama Village bar for a cold one.

Today was a low key day for us staying close to our campsite.  After completing our chores we did run down to Flanigan’s a local neighborhood seafood bar and grill for lunch. This place had a fun vibe and was established in 1959. We both enjoyed a generous serving of fish tacos and fries. #Airstream

Today we took the highly recommended water taxi tour of the intercostal area of Ft. Lauderdale. We certainly got a peek into the life styles of the rich and famous. This was absolutely stunning and well worth it if you are new to the area or looking for a relaxing guided tour. #Airstream

Today was our first full day in Ft. Lauderdale. We enjoyed beautiful weather and took a drive downtown to check out the sights.  We were not disappointed. This place is massive with a similar vibe to Miami. The beachfront area was packed with interesting people. #Airstream

Today was a beautiful day to break camp and travel from St. Augustine to Ft. Lauderdale where we are staying at a KOA for the next two weeks. The camp site is in the process of being upgraded. We have a tight back in site. Luckily the camp guide was an experienced trucker so was able to assist us.

Today we took the highly recommended old town trolley car tour around St. Augustine. This certainly gave us a taste of the rich history of this region and the oldest city in America. This was a 1.5 hour guided tour. It was that good we went round twice and got off once for a lunch stop. #Airstream
