Sept 21: All Wet
Sure, there’s lots of sunshine during a typical Fort Lauderdale vacation. I should know after just spending a week on the beach with my girlfriend – we didn’t see a single drop of rain. Really, we couldn’t have asked for more perfect September weather during the entire seven days. Bulky swaths of cloud drifted beneath a sunny blue most days, offering some shade now and then. But let’s just say, we needed (and used) plenty of sunscreen. It was hot, yes, but not as humid as August had been. And a light breeze off the ocean usually helped cool us, whether we were eating dinner along A1A or sitting on our hotel balcony overlooking the sea.

And yet. Well, the thought occurred to me during this week that, despite vacationing in such a sunny place, I seemed to be wet much of the time. I think I was showering for about the third time that day when this profound idea struck me. Ok, not so profound maybe. But it really was true. One way or another, I was wet a lot on this jaunt to the sunny beach. Of course, it was a good wet, a fun wet.

I just hadn’t quite realized before that vacationing in the sunshine often involves so much water. But think about it. There’s the morning shower, followed by slathering on sunscreen. Then it’s off to the ocean or swimming pool. Or maybe a boat ride, with a little spray in your face for good measure. Then it’s back to the room – to do what? Shower again. Then later, perhaps before cocktails or just before bed, a hot tub often feels like just the thing to help you relax even more. For us, the late night hot tub sessions were always followed by a swim in the pool to cool down. Then – yet another shower. See what I mean? Wet a lot, right? Not that I’m complaining, mind you. We had an incredible week hanging out in the heart of the Fort Lauderdale beach. I’m only suggesting that after you check into a Fort Lauderdale hotel, you probably should make sure your room has plenty of towels.
