Well, everything is packed, I am sure more than we need, but that is one benefit of driving. Suitcases don’t have weight limits in cars, and there are no baggage fees either.
Today, we headed out around 11:30 AM to drive to the local airport to rent our car for the drive down to Ft. Lauderdale. We got a ride to the airport from our mom’s, who wished us farewell at the arrival pick up area, and we headed inside to the Alamo desk for the rental car.
Within about 10 minutes, we were heading to our rental car, a Dodge Journey SUV, which was a free upgrade. We loaded up our luggage and started out on the 7.5 hour drive to our hotel in Port St. Lucie, Florida. We have stayed in this area before, and will only have about 1.5 hours more driving on Monday to reach the port in Ft. Lauderdale.
The drive was nice, the traffic was not too bad, and we arrived safely at the hotel at about 7:20 PM. We checked in and then headed out to a nearby Chili’s for a bite to eat.
We were tired from the long drive, and headed back to the hotel to relax before retiring for the evening.
