Fun Two Weeks In Florida

Just waiting to board another nice and short non-stop flight back home to San Jose. The Fort Lauderdale airport has a couple of ok bars, although everyone is fighting over power outlets, and a couple of them don't even work. (Look for my rant on airport power outlets sometime soon).

One of the highlights was a big party on a casino cruise ship going out of Miami. Open bar, free food (although cruise ship food leaves a lot to be desired), and one of the companies I do business with gave me $1000 in chips to gamble with. I even wore a white linen suit for the occasion (hey, I'm a Miami Vice fan, what can i say).

Had a great time, except for Hurricane Fay (or is it Gustav now?) towards the end. That really ruined the Orlando days... Managed to do Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure (my favorite park) together in one day just because of the lack of lineups (it was raining lightly), but had to cancel Disney the next day because of heavy rains. Instead went to the mall and did some shopping (nice vacation).

It'll be good to go home though, I'm a bit worn out from all this driving (although averaging 90mph all over the state on nice flat, wide, and straight roads makes road tripping fun!)
