mostly packed last night, last few things put away before a quick breakfast. checked out and took the fancy ride between the hotel and port. the ships always look so big sitting at the dock, and the Conquest was no different. quickly checked in and immediately boarded, stopped at the excursions desk to reserve my HMC cabana – #14. dropped our stuff in the room, 7380, and grabbed a quick bite up on Lido. back to the room, hung out, and eventually down to deck 4 for the safety drill. enjoyed dinner then spent some time walking around, both inside and out. sea is flat and calm, bedtime should be easy.

Ft. Lauderdale, day 2
slept late, but still able to catch breakfast. rainy day and windy, bad weather from the storms in the Caribbean. walked around the hotel and took a nap… eventually made our way to Las Olas, did some shopping and grabbed an early dinner at Rocco’s Tacos. back to the hotel, and Лена brought Mira to the beach before bed.

climbing
afternoon climbing with the girls at the massive new outdoor walls in Maggie Daley Park. pretty lucky to have this right across the street, and shocking that we’re only now visiting for the first time. awesome setting and decent routes, but a really hot day. quick certification for Лена and i, then played around between some top rope and bouldering. happy they didn’t have an issue with Mira hanging out with us. once i get a harness and shoes for Mira, Лена can hopefully start taking her every day. quick stop for dim sum and a few groceries before heading home. long walk back as Mira wanted to roll down every grassy hill we passed – which i of course encouraged… 🙂

пока!
day at home, packing and enjoying our last day together. brunch outside at 7 Lions with Лена, fortunately no rain. easy process to the airport and getting her mom checked in and through security for her first flight towards home. sad for Mira, as they had grown so close over the last month and a half.
