All the details are finally wrapped up. The rooms hotel and cruise are booked. Now I just need the weather to cooperate.

Today. I upgraded our rooms from inside to ocean view for an additional $60. I said rooms as Joseph and his beloved are joining us for Charliepalooza.

Since I had booked through Royal Caribbean, when you see a lower price or a different offer posted on any website, all you have to do is call them and they will match it. I had paid $199 per person for our interior room and Joseph had paid $209 for his when I saw that they were offering ocean views for $219. One simple phone call later and we were set.

We are staying at Hyatt Regency Miami once again. I pricelined it for the grand total of $87.13. Now I am just working on how to get from the Ft. Lauderdale airport to Downtown Miami for a reasonable rate.

We also booked the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale upon our return for just over $83 through priceline.

The weather is not looking too good but we are remaining positive.
