Today we were supposed to have had a tour bus trip to the Florida Keys but Wyndham's Concierge's assurance that we had a seat, actually lied to us and all we had was a standby seat, in case there was a couple of cancellations; OR, we had a seat on a SECOND OVERFLOW BUS, just in case another 38 people booked a trip in the next 24 hours. As neither of those happened, Debby was not happy because she had made arrangements weeks ago to be on today's tour but the Wyndham Concierge talked her out of reservations because "There is always room on these tours". Yeah. Right.
Putting aside the disappointment, we opted to do some sightseeing in Ft Lauderdale. We hopped a city bus and found a Water Taxi dock, purchased a couple of all-day passes and headed out. It was fun! We did enjoy being on the water and seeing how Billionaires and multi-millionaires live. We even found some houses owned by poor millionaires! Yes, poor millionaires. They own the small houses with small swimming pools in the low rent district. The rich millionaires who own multi-million dollar homes can expect to pay 30 or 40 THOUSAND DOLLARS PER MONTH in TAXES! YIKES!!
Lunch at BUBBA GUMP's was a highlight of the day! I always love their Shrimp dinners. The Atlantic Ocean along the Ft Lauderdale beach was gorgeous. It's no wonder the college kids like to come here for spring break.
Tomorrow morning we head for the airport. Florida is over.
