Ft. Myers
Your right about not having a cruise leaving Ft. Myer's.
We are leaving from Fort Lauderdale on the cruise, but the Air we got is only $200.00 return, instead of $400.00. So we are flying into Ft Myer's, hiring a car, and travelling to Ft Lauderdale the day before. But the flight gets in at 7:00pm so we need a Hotel. "Brian K" wrote in message m...

Kochera "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!" View My Web Page: http://home.earthlink.net/~brian1951 I like some of the boutique hotels and bed & breakfast. They are located north of some of the big hotels. I've had good experiences on Terramar, Lunamar, and Birch. Some swear by Tropirock close to Ft. Lauderdale-By-The-Sea community. They may not have all the bells and whistles as some of the high-end larger hotels. But they make up for it in "Where the Boys Are" archetecture, neon like South Beach, friendly staff, and charm. Some have will not accept a one night stay. But if you plan to have a post cruise stay in Ft. Lauderdale for at least 3 nights at their lodging, they will book you. If you like all the bells & whistles, and don't mind paying more, Yankee Clipper and Yankee Trader are good choices. Clipper is closer to the 17th St. Bridge and Port Everglades. Good restaurants like Cafe Casablanca and there's a restaurant on the other side of the 17th Street bridge that is quite good. Cafe Casablanca is closer to Trader and the other place who's name I forget is closer to Clipper. For less money, on the Southbound side of A1A is a sports bar called The Quarterdeck. It's a mini-chain with another location in the Florida Keys. They make good Southern Florida food like Conch (pronounced konk) chowder, conch fritters, rock crab legs (expensive everywhere due to limited permitted catch) and grilled dolphin (not Flipper or any of his relatives!). Embassy Suites gets good and bad reviews. There's a Comfort Inn, off one of the main highways, but I feel that it's in a bad area. I wouldn't consider going out for a walk at night. Several miles north of Ft. Lauderdale, is a seafood place that many a president has dined at and come back for more. It's called Cappy's Place. By reservation only, it's on an island in the Inland Waterway. You get there by skiff or sailboat from the restaurant's parking lot near the yacht club. Try the Snapper Soup. It is very tasty. Damn the cost, I ordered seconds! Las Olas, is the main entertainment area with boutique stores, restaurants, and bars with free entertainment. If you want to get more info about Ft. Lauderdale, set your browser to: http://sunny.org. I like Ft. Lauderdale more than South Beach, Miami. It's more laid back, especially off-season when lots of Germans, Japanese, Dutch, and Swill come to visit. The rates are much lower at that time. Hope that this helps some. -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M. Kochera "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!"

Tropirock is in the "Mar's", as you call it. 2900 Belmar , Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33304 , www.tropirock.com just off A1A and Las Olas. Steve in LBTS |

Brian - I think synwave's plan was to overnight in Ft. Myers and then
drive to Ft. Lauderdale the next morning. Thus, seeking advice for Ft. Myers lodging, not FtL lodging. |

I may have been confused by the following: So we are flying into Ft Myer's, hiring a car, and traveling to Ft Lauderdale the day before. As I understand it, they are flying into Ft. Myers and plan to be in Ft. Lauderdale the day before the cruise. That's what the above statement says to me. But then synewave says: But the flight gets in at 7:00pm so we need a Hotel. By this statement it seems to me that they want a hotel in Ft. Myers. They will stay overnight in Ft. Myers by the airport. The next day they will drive to Ft. Lauderdale - but will be embarking on the cruise the following day. That implies another stay in a hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. Or, am I having a Gracie Allen moment? -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M. Kochera "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!"
