A beautiful sunny day at home … but a frigidly cold day. Have plenty to do so no complaints. Tomorrow is supposed to be much warmer. And then we have another snow event in the forecast.
As I wasMeer informatie

Cold ... snow ... and some frozen fog as well. That's what most of February has been like. Most people probably would not care for weather like this. I don't mind much as such conditions allow me toMeer informatie

Bags are mostly packed ... last-minute items are all that remain ... they will be placed in our luggage before we zip them up.
Pre-trip to-dos are mostly checked off our lists ... the few remainingMeer informatie
ReizigerI used to fly nonstop southwest airlines from Spokane to Orlando a lot. Back then no seat assignments. It was a cattle call. But the price was worth it. Hope it's good for all of you.
Two to TravelStill no seat assignments ... just boarding positions. We’re #s 46-48 in the A group. 🤞🏻we get decent seats.

Instead of booking a couple of hotel rooms for our pre-cruise stay in Ft Lauderdale, Florida we booked a two-bedroom bungalow through Booking.com.

Two to TravelYes ... we done good by picking this place. Now if I can only find the washer and dryer that was mentioned in the description ;-)

Arrived at the DEN East Terminal at 10:00a ... as expected, a 1.5-hour drive up from Colorado Springs. Curbside check-in of bags. Then through security ... easy peasy (for the most part).

ReizigerNever heard of a Smashburger, but it looks pretty darn good. Maybe a Colorado thing?
Two to TravelMy brother turned us onto it ... nationwide, but apparently not in Oregon. I like their burgers because they are smashed thin so they are cooked to my liking. Good flavors.

The 737-800 that is taking us to FLL pushed back at 1:00p ... 10 minutes late. But once we started rolling, there was no stopping us. Within minutes we were wheels up and winging our wayMeer informatie
ReizigerI once had pre boarding with a bum knee on Southwest, it was so worth it. As Mo says, maybe now I can get one of those tags with a wheelchair for the car. LOL and pre-boarding too!
Two to TravelMom hates that we get a wheelchair for her, but she tires easily and with a long travel day ahead of us, it was a smart move on my part ... if I do say so myself.

Smooth flight ... early landing at FLL ... by 20 minutes despite the 10-minute delay departing DEN. Just picked up our bags at the luggage carousel.

Two to TravelToo drained from our travel day for much fun tonight, but definitely tomorrow.
Sonia GelmanTotally understand. We drained after 3 hours on the beach. It is so hot and humid.
Two to TravelSaw a few of the photos on FB ... looked like a lovely beach ... I guess hot and humid is to be expected in that part of the world. Florida is surprisingly comfortable weather-wise.
