Dinner at Matchbox was amazing. Owen had the Oreo shake and chicken fettuccine alfredo. Garlic bread was MMMM. Lisa had pizza and salad. I had the half chicken that was brined for 24 hours. It is rare to have a bird so juicy.

Where we are having dinner tonight is part of the Sawgrass complex. Looks like this father has put in too much time today. Many have felt his pain.

Thanks Graham. It is greatly appreciated.

Dinner tonight at

As we walked the mall I must have had cruising on my mind. This isn’t like the Oasis I know, but Sawgrass had a Royal Promenade vibe. I’ll wait for the sale onboard. 😉 I think we are now in a port of call, Porto Sawgrasso? A Suite and Pinnacle toiletry store? Then I started thinking about tomorrow being NYE. I thought about buying some but thought the better of it even though marketed as “safe”. I’d only use them at midnight, when the ball drops. Speaking of ball drops, this sign has us laughing.

A few photos our marathon that is Sawgrass. We had our Uber drop us at furthest end and we must have walked the entire mall twice over the 3 hours there. A few random shots. Swim suits. No drone purchased this trip. LOL A soft spot for me but I kept walking. No target in Canada, so we obviously had to go in. They keep the fancy sneakers behind glass at the sneaker resellers. Breath deep before you look at price. 😳 Owen did get this case that holds his AirPod case. Waaaay more economical. I found this place interesting. We didn’t stop to eat. IMG_1981.MOV What was purchased? A few snacks and pop, Owen got some swimsuits - the Chubbies and a pair of glasses. That’s the hotel in the background. Thankfully it’s just a few steps away.

That sucks but safe travels and Happy Anniversary. Perhaps someone following along can chime in as we only Uber or taxi to pout.

Bless my soul.

Ubered for a throwback breakfast at Denny’s in honour of my father. . Now off to brave Sawgrass. Reports to come.

The one wave to me is a downfall. The warmth feels great.

He really is excited. I just asked and he said “yup”.

We are back to our room and beat. It was about a 20 minute walk. Final report of the game. panthers won 7-2. A few photos from the game. It was a multicultural even. Hockey in Florida, surrounded by French Canadians, and eating a Cuban Sandwich. I think half the fans there tonight were cheering for the Montreal Canadians. As Toronto fans we weren’t. Owen got this. Perfect seats. Tkachuk never keeps his mouth guard in. He’s always chewing on it. The winners.

Maybe that too.

For sure.

This maybe happening. 😀

Checked in. AC Marriott at Sawgrass. Here for a reason. Nice and clean. Less than 2 years old. Sofa bed.

If there is an issue “Blame Canada”. 😉😀

It’s great to be back. 80F feels great.

We have landed. We will check in with you when we get to the hotel.

Jimbo, the floors look great.

Owen is watching the Movie 42 and I’m watching Lucky Logan. Not sure what Lisa has on. She decided to sit across the row. Maybe doesn’t want to be affiliated with us. 😅

More than happy to keep you occupied. In all honesty I’m just happy to be in the air right now. Listening and chatting with the folks seated around us at the gate there are a fair amount of people with travel issues. The retired couple across from us took the $800 offer each for the later flight. They are flying to Freeport tomorrow so they said why not. They just needed to get to FLL tonight. Their flight down was paid with points as well. They were very happy. The offer for the last 2 volunteers was $900 a person. They found a couple takers. Window with a view. We are making good time.

On the plane. Good thing Owen didn’t take the credit. We’d be short a pilot.

Boarding starts 10 minutes.

Nothing, right. 😆🫣 They have all their volunteers so Owen is safe.
