An early start today as we were packing up ready to head off on our cruise. We are spending the week on oasis of the seas, the biggest cruise ship in the world. Once at port Everglades we completed our customs check and then boarded the ship. Wow is an understatement, the ship is huge. We made our way to our cabins, a lot better than expected and once exploration of the cabins completed we ventured down to one of the main decks and grabbed some pizza and had a ...

Up early this morning as Linda is finally arriving and we have to go to the airport to pick her up. So off we went.....then got stuck in traffic for over an hour so we got there in time to rush into baggage claim to find a very relieved Linda.

Many arguments later and w...

So we saw some sights that's for sure but it is a really clean town and clearly you have to have a really good ret...

Off we go again to hotel number 7 for the trip. We started out by finding the Florida Mall as this is the home of M@M world. So we arrived a little early so had time for coffee and a walk and some bacon cheese fries before the shops opened. Once shopping was done we headed to the coast and we started our 2.5 hr drive to Boynton Beach. The car ride consisted of storms, arguments over driving and me trying to explain that gators do not cross the freeway on a regul...
