Fri. morning. No office to go to. No golf courses open. Gyms are closed. I am down to re-reading Oliver Twist ! Miami port and Port Everglades has opened just for cruise ships, although a couple have docked in Miami and passengers bussed to Ft.Laud. airport which has just opened. Most of Broward Cty.has no power. We are still at Weston which has power.
Life is boring for most people with no power and little gas. Most offices are still closed. The high rises have few windows intact. No transportation. The curfew has been raised from 7 to 11 p.m. but who wants to drive in dark streets with no traffic lights. And those few restaurants with staff and generators have line ups from 4 p.m.
We live where the eye passed directly over - Pompano Bch. Pres. Bush was there yesterday and hugged a few ladies and more or less said "tut tut" and left with promises. Just like the horses I bought for the manure. I lost money. Can't live on promises. Any way, we cruise on Dec.17th.
Bette, I still think that Hurricanes are the lesser evil than earthquakes. Wish we were having dinner with you in Vegas, tonight. Stay well. And happy cruising to all you sailors at sea.
