It started like this, I got a phone call from my friends in Florida and they invited me to spend a few days with them....I looked out the window and this is what I saw...
I don't have to tell you that I had a Revelation....
I got a West Jet flight with my Visa points and flew for a change of view...
This is what happened in a land far far away....
The weather was 80 to 85 degrees F, I thought I would share with you a bit of my sunny days. It was a short visit, so don't expect a grand tour but I will show you just a few places I really liked that you might also enjoy.

On the Canal daytime....Lauderdale by the Sea...
View from my friends's screenporch, so peaceful and relaxing...
My first day...I had to unpack my one month supply of clothes for 5 days..I don't know why I always pack for one month if I go away for a year or for 5 days my suitcase looks the same, I think the problem is to have to choose all these summer clothes in the middle of winter....

South Beach Smith & Wollensky, if you want to eat on a table by the sea, it is a great location right in front of Fisher Island, I flipped the photo a bit....I think it was taken crooked to start with, so I might as well go all the way.....sorry

Yours truly at The Breakers...One advice when you go for a visit and not a stay at The Breakers, there is a long driveway with a guard, he will ask you this question ''What will you be doing at The Breakers'' and the answer is ''We are meeting some friends for a drink''....We did have a drink....
