I made my reservations today with the Babuska and she said there are only a few rooms left. The FLL Boat Show is just around the corner and I hear Bacardi is brewing extra rum to make up for last year.
Cheers,

you sleeping at the switch,, better get a head count and tell her we want all the rooms....in the past we usually called in late august to arrange for the Suite, but its a good thing Russ is on his game as we would have been locked out .., we might yet still be,,,,..,and thats not right,, thats our place .,.,Billy d (el presidente) said we should have bought that place 2 years ago.,.,he was right..,.
,.I think she is going to want at least a 3 night minimum stay.,.,as i recall that is what she wanted the year before last (hurricane cancelled last year).,and she is finally getting hip to the boat show down the street,,,remember she never new what the boat show was
we were gettin rooms with parking for what other people were charging for parking spots to enter the show,,,,

I just talked to the Bambooshka (aka Elizabeth) and made my reservation for Wed. Oct. 25 thru Sunday Oct 29, departing Monday the 30th. She has "oodles" of rooms still left. Ocean Holiday Motel (Resort?) 954.761.9933. She will need a credit card # to reserve. Didn't ask the price but it has been 65 for several years. Best little flophouse in FLL. Ric - get 401 and we will chip in.

Vic,
She told me the price had gone up to $75/night for a single "due to the hurricane...". Like Vic always says: "bring your own soap".

Tommy, yeah, but still a bargain at twice the price. And do bring your own bar of soap. She musta found a deal on bars of Ivory that are about the size of the mints they leave on your pillow at a fancy hotel. Oh yeah, and no phones, bring your cell. But the restaurant next door, the Casa Blanca, is the best in FLL and has Timmy's chalk outline still on the floor.....Thudddddddddddd.
See ya'll there. I'm not the travel agent this year, call her direct..... I did my duty in Panama. Speaking of TSL, I'm gonna need committments in a few weeks, got a few spots still open for the grovelling.

Booked my room.
In chatting about their hurricane damage (they understood me better in Panama) she said the insurance companies were lazy. $75 a nite.

I rode by the place about a week before leaving for Pat's. Looked the same.
75 a night is cheap with an ocean view. Place must be long paid for or a laundering spot for the Russian mob.

Thuddddddddd,
Trying to confuse me won't work. I'm already confused, but from reading other posts, I am certain about the dates. Good try though.
