Weekend #5 - Ft Lauderdale

Welcome to Ft Lauderdale!
We are at the Harbour Beach Marriott and we have a lovely ocean view room. To the right you can see the pool area where we spent pretty much all our time.




Lounging in the sun...The pool was quite nice, it was a reasonable size and had plenty of chairs all around it so you could have sun or shade. One weird thing was that people would claim chairs with their towels in the morning and then leave their towels there all day so you never quite knew if the chair was free or not (note all the empty chairs complete with towels?)






Now this is the life! Unfortunately we had to wait until it was late in the afternoon and started getting cool before the luxury seating freed up - though I'm totally thinking about getting one of these for home.



Of course no trip to Ft Lauderdale is complete without the typical embarrassing photo...what can i say? I was totally setup!



Final Parting Shot - Good-bye Air Canada Airpass! Until next year!

Weekend #4 - Texas

Welcome to Texas :)




This trip was a bit more complicated than usual so I have lots more pics! Granted this is texas so they all kind of look the same... :)

Here is Houston



Here we are finally arriving near Harlingen airport...albeit by a different means of transportation



Here is the picturesque Texas scenery






Land of trailer parks, pick-up trucks and one stop shopping across the border...




Sorry no pics of the Mexico border town, but honestly it was just like a trip to china town with more junk, worse food and a toll to get in.
