November 21, 2008: My Birthday
	October 21-23, 2008: A Trip to San Antonio
	Return to Index for 2008

For the last couple of weeks, Fred and I have been talking to Ron Drew and Jay Silbert in Fort Lauderdale about the trip that Fred and I were planning for the end of October down to Fort Lauderdale, and the topic of meeting at Disney World came up. One thing led to another, and soon we had made plans to stop there on our drive down, spend a couple of days there with Ron and Jay, and then go on to Fort Lauderdale. As it turned out, even Steve and Mario would get into the act as they were going to be in Miami during part of our time in Fort Lauderdale, and we planned to hook up and meet their parents.

So that's the plan. I have driven to Fort Lauderdale a number of times, but this is the first time that Fred and I will be doing the drive together.

We'll follow the general route shown above, and stop in Orlando for three nights to do the theme parks. The return route will follow the same path, which, in my numerous trips down there by car, has proven to be the fastest (if not the absolute shortest).

This was quite a long trip, and so I will be organizing it the same way I have organized other major vacation trips in this album. I will be creating an album page for each day of our trip, and you may wish to jump to a specific day to look at a specific activity. So I have provided the index below that will allow you to do that.

When you are done looking at the pictures from the Florida trip (or from whatever portion of it you wanted to see), please use one of the links at the top and bottom of each daily page to return here. Then you can use the links at the top of this index page to continue through the photo album.
