Ft. Lauderdale?

[HurricaneHeather]

Anyone have reccomendations on stuff to do during the week there? Husband has to go for training in a couple weeks and I am tagging along.

It doesn't look like the most exciting city ever, but it's an excuse to get out of town for a few days.

Hang out with kel and Leon

buy three pound bags of shrimp from the stately gentlemen on the street corners.

Not unless she speaks Spanish. And if she's by herself and unfamiliar with the area I'd say maybe not such a great idea.

I don't know what you like to do, but.....

As for Fort Lauderdale, you can spend one day on the beach and shopping/eating/drinking at Beach Place.

You can also go shopping out at Sawgrass Mills. There's also lots of little shops and restaurants on Las Olas.

You can check out the Bonnet House - historical museum and gardens.

There's Butterfly World in Coconut Creek.

Best bet would be to try and reach out to Kel and Leon or some of the other SoFL peeps.

Listen to Lee, not derf. Keep your white self north of the Miami-Dade line.

If you want adventure, there is indoor rock climbing, indoor go karts, parasailing and sky-diving.

If you want the beach, Ft. Lauderdale's is world famous.

If you want to chill, and see rich people's houses you can hop on the water taxi or Jungle Queen.

If you want to drink until 4am, there is a reason it is called Ft. Liquordale.

If you have a car, you can head west and tour the Everglades (catch an airboat ride).

Or cruise A1A (with the rag top down so your hair can blow).

High-end shopping? Las Olas.

Future trophy wives on the prowl? Blue Martini

I'll think of more later.

Beach, fishing, boating, eating, and clubbing. Thats about it.

I don't know about Ft Lauderdale, but I'm in Fort Walton Beach right now for work. I can tell you that this place is awesome. That probably doesn't help you, but I don't really care because I've been drinking on the beach all day.

And that right there is what you do in any part of Florida.
