Leaving the cruise ship, heading to the beaches of Fort lauderdale. My Actifit Report Card: March 23 2024

Sad to say but the sun has set on my Caribbean cruise. Woke up way too early and couldn't get back up sleep so early morning stretches and bible reading (or late night.. your call).

Then it was last minute checks to make sure everything was in order. I skipped breakfast because I hate eating before traveling although my oldest son ate a huge breakfast.

My younger son skipped breakfast also. I'm he only slept 3 hours because he was out having fun with friends until very very late.

Then the decision came.

My plan was a 25 minute walk to a train connector. Short train to the to the tri link trail. Then catch that to Fort lauderdale from Miami followed by an 8 minute walk to the hotel.

A bit of an adventure taking transit in an unfamiliar city with luggage but only$7 per person. Also gets me a bunch of steps.

Then I looked at my family. My older son had a sour stomach from too much food, my wife and younger son were tired from lack of sleep. I was ready for an adventure but they all needed more time resting.

The decision was made... get a taxi. Unfortunately a 45 minute taxi ride in the USA from a cruise port is expensive. I was also led to a Van taxi which (I found out later) has a 30% van surcharge.

$180 later I'm at the hotel. Sad for the money spent but glad my family can rest.

Now it is probably a good thing we took a taxi. An hour after we arrived my family are all resting and then it started pouring raining... and we had no umbrella.

I wanted to go out and explore but it was really hard rain so I just looked out the window (and typed on hive). Sure I got some steps exploring the hotel but without food I know we would have to go out.

Walmart it was.

Prepared for it was. Sure it isn't great quality or cheap but it is better than fast food restaurant in both nutrition and price.

We ended up finding a lot of heat and eat packaged food we don't have in Canada. Useful for hungry people in a hotel with a fridge and microwave but no cooking utensils.

Then back to the hotel for hot tub and swimming. Pretty good exercise but no steps (sigh).

That's my day and let's see what tomorrow brings :)
