We arrived into Fort Lauderdale Airport around 1pm. We picked up our luggage and looked around
for our Princess rep. After waiting 10
minutes, one arrived and escorted us outside to a group waiting on the curb
outside the airport. Our transportation
arrived and we were loaded onto a Cabana bus for a 15 minute trip to the
hotel.
Upon arrival at the Embassy Suites, we received our Princess
letter with instructions for embarkation on Saturday. We also received our tickets for free
breakfast. Our room was ready and we
were too happy to drop off all our luggage and heavy backpacks. We quickly changed into our cruise clothes
(shorts, t-shirts, and flip-flops).
We took our normal walk behind the hotel to get to the
shopping center. Here we had access to a
Publix grocery store, a Total Wine shop, several restaurants, and a natural
health store. We had lunch at Lauderdale
Grill. I had the Parmesan and almond
crusted salmon and hubby had the grilled Ahi Tuna with a lemon grass sauce.
After lunch we headed over to our favorite Publix store to
pick up some toiletries we didn’t want to carry in our luggage (suntan lotion,
contact lens solution, etc). Once we got our necessities, we wandered over to a really
cool natural health store. There we came
across Olive Leaf. The owner of the shop
highly recommended this product to help get rid of our annoying coughs. Hubby took a sample of the liquid form and
told me to get pill form.
I dropped Hubby off at the hotel so I could go and visit a
favorite shop of mine…Essential Boutique in the shopping center next door. They were having a sale on everything in
their shop including some Brighton jewelry pieces. A Brighton sale is unheard of! I found a bracelet and necklace that went
with the pieces I already had and I managed to get them for 50% off.
As dinner time approached, hubby and I decided to have a
light meal. We headed over to the
shopping center next to the Embassy Suites and went to Carlos and Pepes for
chips and salsa. Afterwards, we decided
to hit the sack early as we were exhausted from all the traveling we did
earlier in the day.
