And the Adventure begins…

Our amazing son and his wife drove us to KCI to catch a Southwest Airlines flight to Fort Lauderdale, FL. This was a great flight, very reasonably priced, and even though you can’t reserve a seat, the space was more accommodating to our 6 foot frames. One tip: check in online 24 hours ahead to get a better boarding assignment. Also, you can lock your checked luggage if you use a TSA approved padlock.

We stayed at a Comfort Inn in Hollywood, FL, which had a free 10-minute ride from the Fort Lauderdale Airport. They also had a transportation company that provided a ride to Miami International Airport for $65 for two people, which was less than any other shuttle service in the area.
