Wow! You sure are seeing some beautiful country! Love you!
Looks like u are skipping your original southern route…we will be in Fort Lauderdale next week on Friday. You could meet us!! That would be a hoot.
Fort Lauderdale! What’s in Fort Lauderdale?
Nothing is in Ft Lauderdale except us & the ocean for 9 days (& maybe some fishing)
Very excited to see you made it to Neptune’s Net outside Malibu! Nice ride & hopefully plenty of surfers. Can’t wait for all the details. Safe travels! xoxoxo
