Thursday - Friday 19-20th, Before the Cruise

1/19 Our day started dark and early at 1:30.  Our flight was originally at 6:15 but over time had been moved up to 5:00. The shuttle company insists on picking you up with plenty of time so our pick up was at 2:05 in Maple Grove. Of course at that hour the airport is empty and at first the checkin kiosks weren't even open. Eventually we boarded our first flight to Houston. Then we flew from there to Fll. We went to our hotel which unfortunately wasn't the greatest. We've had good luck with deal sites over the years but this was kind of a flop. We went out to do some shopping. Jason picked up a belt and Anikka got some Sandals. The it was target for a few forgotten toiletries. We headed back to the room. We are tired and head to bed. 

 

1/20 - today we slept in as we had a long day of travel yesterday.  We headed to Chick Fil A for lunch. Then we went to a state park in the middle of the city.  We explored the trails and of course took pictures of the birds and turtles we saw. It was a neat find and admission was pretty cheap! We spent a low key evening in.  Jason worked on the vlog and Anikka worked on homework and savored the last hours of internet connection. We ordered in from a local pizza place. Calzones, bread and tiramisu. The food was just ok. We then headed to bed!
