Sunday July 26, 2015 - Arrive Copenhagen - Copenhagen to Ft Lauderdale, Florida

We docked a little before 7 am and passengers started getting off.  I had a more restful night last night.

We took our time and left the cabin at 8 am and wished Myleen a fond farewell.  No sign of Rupesh!  We went for a hearty breakfast in La Veranda.  We saw many of the staff and bade them farewell.

We went to the theatre and saw passengers and wished them well.  We disembarked at 9 am and got a taxi and went straight to the airport.  Not much traffic being a Sunday morning.  The taxi ride was $37 versus taking Regent's transfer that included a tour at $350 each!!!!  We had already seen the city.

We were able to check in and drop off our bags.  We walked all through the large airport mall.  At noon we stopped for lunch at MASH and had a bottle of wine and large burgers - they were good.

We went to our boarding area at 2 but they moved our gate so there was a mad dash by everyone to the new gate.  The boarding area was full and everyone was standing in the loading area.  They called "Economy Plus" first and we had to make our way through the throng to get on board and get settled.

We departed on time.  I watched a couple of movies and time did the same.  We napped a little.

We arrived in Ft Lauderdale at 8 pm.  We had to disembark the plane onto buses and be taken to another terminal where customs and immigration are located.  It wasn't such a good setup but it was very convenient being able to fly from Europe right to FLL.

We got through immigration quickly but it took forever for the bags to arrive.  We finally had all but one and that took an eternity.  We went through customs with no problem and to the taxi stand.

We had one of the WORST taxis ever - it was gross.  And our brilliant County Commission had disallowed Uber from the county!  We got home, unpacked a bit and went to bed.

Wow - what a great adventure.
