Saturday, February 1: A Day in Fort Lauderdale


Well today, we woke up around 8:30 AM to get ready to take a water taxi to Fort Lauderdale. We stop by at the nicest 711 you will ever see. It’s owned 

by corporate. It’s not a franchise so it was all nice and clean and they had a nice breakfast bar like Wawa does we could
order breakfast sandwiches so I ordered a big 

ass breakfast burrito and Mary got a taco. Larry gave me his Wawa 16 ounce 

mug with sale don’t sell anymore and I got some coffee as well. Then I drove



 Larry’s car down to Fort Lauderdale, which is about a 2 Hour drive . from 

Larry’s place in North Palm Beach. We then park the car for seven hours for $44. 

We’re now getting ready to board the water taxi. The sun is really intense. I’m 

really glad it slathered on the suntan lotion. Well, we boarded the boat with a little very little hassle and oh my God 

there’s so much wealth here there’s like huge mega yachts all over

 this area. I just saw the boat by the richest man in New Zealand who has a boat here 

it’s so big it’s 100 and 300 feet long. I think it was but I don’t know

 but it’s on my videos that I took on this trip. We were going to be making our first pitstop now at a little restaurant that you could go and spend more money at if 

you want to, but this is America. You have the freedom of choice still especially if you’re wealthy definitely so we’re gonna get off the boat in our first stop. It turns out
 nobody wanted to get off the boat so that we didn’t disembark on the boat. Meanwhile, in the real world outside is complete utter wealth there is sad news. This morning they

 say that at least 7️⃣ dead & 19 injured in the single plane crash in Northeast Philadelphia. near the Roosevelt Boulevard. It’s a second plane crash and 36 hours 

here in the United States. That’s really scary.  We went into the shopping area with those restaurants, art galleries, etc. in Fort Lauderdale. We went to a lot of cool galleries. That was 

really fun. Never some really fun galleries there. Then we end up stopping at this coffee  place. It served up Keylime pie and Panini‘s etc. that 

wasn’t horribly expensive. Mary and I just gotta Keylime pie cause we had 

eaten a whole massive breakfast at the wonderful 711. It’s now 

1:04 PM we’re gonna look at other places in Fort Lauderdale before we run back to the taxi water taxi. We expect to be back at the parking
lot by 5:40 PM which
 would be 7️⃣ hours from when  we arrived at the parking area. Well, once we got to the parking area, Veronica wanted to go do a T-shirt shop which was up the beach in Fort Lauderdale. 
Boy oh boy is at traffic on that beach road really bad. I mean we put putted and we eventually got there
 and Veronica and Mary went out to the store

 in Larry and I turned around the corner and park today permit only area 

and just chilled out and waited for them to be done shopping.



 Once they were done shopping, we just zipped on up route one to I-95 to Olive Garden 

near Larry’s house. It’s now 6:55 PM and I am pretty hungry and 

we’re just doing what suburban I do go to Olive Garden on Saturday night baby. Black

 background well the dinner was really good there and we had unlimited

 breadsticks and salad, but it took them 45 minutes to get us foods that were real simple

 to cook such as pasta with sausage and meat and pasta with meat 

sauce, etc. the waiter was real nice, but he was undercut by his own kitchen. It was 

very filling and it was a nice relief to eat after not really eating since the delicious 711 breakfast
