LET THE CRUISING BEGIN!

Fort Lauderdale, Florida
January 15, 2009

Today we traveled about 224 miles-- cloudy and 62 F---stopped by Ron Jon's to buy swimwear in Cocoa Beach --(not many swimsuits to choose from in Erie). A Ron Jon's clerk told Tim business was way down.

Our next destination was Sawgrass Mills Mall-350 stores, what's not to like? After checking in at the Hampton Inn/Plantation about 5:00, we headed to the Broward Mall across the street for some last minute details. We got some good exercise today.

Tomorrow we board the Grand Princess for 14 days, our first cruise in the Cruise Triathlon. I hope that I will be able to post my blog on a regular basis from the ship.

Gourmet delight of the day: Strawberry shortcake (my whole lunch) at the Cheesecake Factory is the best. Tim enjoyed a Cuban panini-pork, ham, cheese, and pickled on panini bread. Neither of us were hungry for dinner.

TK's Topic: he says he loved going to two big malls in one day (smile) and that he cannot wait to begin cruising.
