Did you have some key lime pie?

Re: Ft. Lauderdale
Thanks again for all your help I had heard of the water taxi and thought it would be a great way to see the area from the water. Apreciate all the good ideas.
P.S is there a bunch of different companies providing the taxies or is it basically all the same one.

There is a cabana bar at the Marriot across from Pier 66 that has decent food, good drinks, and a lot of boats to look at. The water taxi stops there also.

mack1, hope you have a great time it's always good to get away.
Roger 1, ya I couldn't resist, Betty,my mom, daughter Lacey and I were in Florida last year for a cruise and R & R. I didn't realize that Ft. L Shooters and the one in LOTO were the same and as a matter of fact Betty and I did split a piece.

Don't have to do that by me... You can leave the top down and doors open... Hell you can probably leave the keys in the ignition.
By the way, when I went there I loved it! I had an excellent time at the Hot Bod Contest, they let our crew be judges... Will have to get the pic and post when I have time.
The night life in Las Olas was pretty fun too!

Where does he keep his boat? I know that there was a marina in Dania, called Newtown Marina I think, where they had a problem with monkeys. Now I know that your thinking the same thing I did when I first heard of it but these are real monkeys. It seem there was some sort of zoo there several years back and a storm (hurricane?) went through and tore it up pretty good allowing the monkeys to escape and now there is a breeding population in the area. These little guys seem to cause quite a bit of trouble stealing food, shinney objects and generaly causing trouble.
Maybe that would account for the thievery.
I`m glad that you had a good time down there. I know that I always do. It`s good to get out of here for a few days in the winter and just sit at a table by the water and have a couple of drinks......AND WATCH THE HOT BOD CONTEST!!!!!

Not sure what marina he keeps it at right now. I know he just finished putting a new engine in and he's trying to sell it.

Re: Ft. Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale is an excellent place to live, Go to the Bahia Cabana for Happy Hour, they have a 20+ person hot tub, the water taxi picks up there also, take the taxi to riverfront and have dinner at Hooters. Also check our Beach place the views are great.
