Day 134 - Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA - End of our Cruise

We arrived back into Fort Lauderdale a 7AM. We were not scheduled to get off the ship until about 9 AM as we were planning to take an Uber to the car rental center at the airport to pick up the SUV we had booked to drive to Houston (a 2 day drive). We then went to the hotel across the road from the beach where we would be staying for 2 days before starting our drive Monday morning.
