Day 1---From Home to Fort Lauderdale

A snowy Denver

Up at the godawful time of 3:10 AM.  Actually only two choices when flying to the east coast, up early and get in at a reasonable time, or leave at a reasonable time and get in at 11:00 PM.  Pam and I went with the first.  Lorrie drove us to the airport with absolutely no traffic (of course, it was the middle of the night.).  Arrived in Denver in two hours and had was passed for breakfast, a strawberry  yogurt parfait and croissant.  Denver had had a snowstorm the day before and there was snow everywhere, although it was a bright sunny day today.

 Back on a different plane for the flight to Fort Lauderdale, four more hours.  Luggage arrived just fine, and the Renaissance Hotel is great.

Water-side dining
Bimini Boatyard

We had a wonderful dinner at the Bimini Boatyard Restaurant.  

Bahama Mama

Bahama Mama is a great drink, and the food was excellent.  

Seared salmon

Yummy shrimp on grits

Seared salmon with garlic potatoes and asparagus and shrimp on a bed of grits (yum) with a tomato sauce.  Since today is my birthday, Pam treated.  Thanks, Pam.

Anyone know what this is?  No odor
