Flying from Fort Lauderdale to Calgary
November 24: It’s time to leave the warmth. The weather reports from home don’t make that a very happy thing to have to do, but I do miss my home and my fur-kids.
We had a 12:35 Air Canada flight to Toronto and then on to Calgary for the night. That allowed for a relaxing morning, and I got a few photos of the Marriott Harbor Beach resort that I’d missed. There are many water features on the property – this “creek” is on the main walkway to the pool and beach.
This is probably the property’s best “side” for a photo, looking from the Sea Level Restaurant across the pool. Everything about this hotel is the highest quality, from staff to facilities.
The hotel’s private beach, looking north.
You can walk behind a good-sized waterfall that falls into a pool right beside the swimming pool.
We’d heard many, many warnings about how busy FLL would be because of both the increased Thanksgiving traffic and the implementation of new body-scanners. We arrived 3 hours before our flight, and breezed through security. Our flight was delayed because of heavy air traffic, though.
Saying good-bye at 3:55. See ya later, alligator! 🙂
We didn’t arrive at Calgary until after 11:00 pm, but a few minutes later the shuttle to the Acclaim Hotel arrived and we were in bed just after midnight.
