We walked around Dania Pointe tonight, and they have really expanded since we stayed in this area. We will be here when we get off the ship, and there are some bars and restaurants that are calling me. The Tommy Bahama store with a bar and guitar music The pointe has some nice lighting and decorations

@Sea Dog Greg, those lights look nice. Is that price an installed price? And for how many feet? I bought a strip of these heavy duty waterproof ones last year to line the perimeter of the roof of the gazebo we have over our hot tub. I have been pleased with the way these have held up, but they have only been up for 16 months. We have them on a couple hours every day. Easy to control from an app on my phone.

For something else, cruise related, we did the health check on the app. For those who don’t know, these are done after noon on the day before you sail. They have really reduced the number of questions. after clicking the check in button, choose health status answer two questions, that I am sure does not apply to me. submit, and you are done.

Due to Daryl’s maniac driving, we arrived in Ft. Lauderdale ahead of schedule. Since it is Friday, we had to stop at our favorite place for their lunch special. I was surprised to see they are open Christmas Day, so we may be there again for dinner. We had the shrimp, shrimp, and more shrimp special. Forty two shrimp between the two of us, so we had some to take to the hotel for later. I found out that Daryl can’t pass up these things.

Now back to some cruise talk. Since we have our “free” cruise, why not try for a Royal up to a GS. When I put in my bid, there were still 6 available at double what the normal price should be. I thought, Heck, nobody is fool enough to pay double for one of those cabins, so I should have a good chance. Haha, evidently there were six fools out there, because they showed sold out before long. Chances are I will not get the upgrade, unless the storms keep someone from getting there. I will be perfectly content with my 2D Ocean View Balcony on deck 6. When I checked cabins earlier this week, there were only two available. A little pricy for a boardwalk balcony Plus they had an aqua theatre suite I wouldn’t be surprised if Royal found two more fools. It is the Season of giving. Isn’t Royal’s motto “Give us more of your money”?

What a frightening morning! Daryl wanted to drive the first leg today. He drives like a maniac. I guess he wanted to meet someone special. He got us there 10 minutes ahead of schedule, even though we had stop and go traffic around Jacksonville.

Now, for something that inquiring minds want to know. Every time we drive I-95 in South Georgia, we see feral pigs grazing along the interstate. At times, we have counted over 100, but yesterday I only saw 3. Maybe that was because I was driving, and mainly keeping my eyes on the road. Just as I asked Susan if she had spotted any, and she said no, there was one standing there. Now, in Pennsylvania, if we see a deer anywhere near the road, you slow down or stop and hope they don’t run in to you. Do these pigs ever run on to the highway and become someone’s bacon? I sure would hate to go to the insurance company and explain about hitting a pig.
