Destination Wedding on Royal Caribbean Cruise Line – Day 1 Pre-Cruise

Today I flew to Fort Lauderdale for a destination wedding on the Jewel of the Seas by Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. I flew out of Boston and was fascinated by the beautiful sites on the clear blue sunny day. I caught a view of Wickford that I’ve never seen before. I grew up in Wickford and spent many days wandering around the docks playing. I really miss Wickford. It’s a great place to relax and explore. It’s filled with many old homes that are in great condition. I vividly remember my summers at the art festival selling lemonade as a young child. Here’s the view that I saw from my flight from Boston.

I arrived in Fort Lauderdale a day early to ensure a smooth arrival and to accommodate the additional gear arriving on time. I stayed at the Fort Lauderdale Grand Hotel which is undergoing a major 65 million dollar renovation. The hotel is very posh and has a great location near the convention center and the Port Everglades ship departures.

Once I arrived, I called Holly and Josh and let them know I arrived safely. I then proceeded to examine my gear and verify that everything made the trip without any problems. Everything checked out so, I grabbed a camera and proceeded to explore. I stumbled upon an absolutely huge and beautiful sailing ship. It’s called the Meteor and it’s a double masted 170 foot yacht that was absolutely breathe taking. Here’s some of the details that caught my eye.

I continued exploring the area around the hotel and stumbled upon a car auction. I was immediately thrilled. I payed my entrance fee and walked into a plathora of fine vintage automobiles. I was in heaven. I watched the bidding, drank some beers, wandered around, chatted with a fascinating slice of America and enjoyed every second of the experience. Here’s some of the images that captivated me.

This is a 66 AC Cobra 427 that sold for $710,000. Simply stunning!
