Wherever we lay our head is our home....

SLEEP INN & SUITES, FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA

Another item checked off the things to do list! We have a home for the Thursday night we will spend in Florida before leaving on our cruise. We will be staying at the Sleep Inn & Suites. I will be sending out an email to the heads of each family and you will need to follow the directions included to reserve your family's room(s). Everyone except Mary and family requested one room. Keep in mind that we have received a discounted rate for booking as a group and in order to get this rate which is $112.66 (including taxes) per room per night ($20 cheaper per room than the regular rate), we MUST reserve all ten (10) of the rooms that I blocked off by no later than Thursday, September 25th.

The amenities at the hotel include a courtesy shuttle which will pick us up from the airport and deliver us to the hotel on Thursday in addition to transporting us all to the cruise port at Port Everglades on Friday. Also included in the price is a complimentary continental breakfast to send us on our way with a full tummy on Friday. The hotel is located just minutes from both the airport and cruise port, in addition to being only a short distance from the Fort Lauderdale Beach and Sawmill Outlet Mall! As you can clearly see, though our cruise doesn't start until Friday, OUR VACATION definitely starts on THURSDAY!!!!

Just so you know what to expect, here are a few snapshots of the hotel to get your juices flowing....72 days and counting and then WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
