Fort Lauderdale Beach – Christmas Day
After a short stop at the hotel to change clothes, I went straight down to Fort Lauderdale Beach. This part of Fort Lauderdale Beach is very similar to JBR Beach in Dubai. There are lots of restaurants (and tourists) and if you have a thing for luxury cars, you will also find plenty of eye candy cruising the promenade, even though the Ferrari-per-capita ratio might be slightly smaller than in Dubai.
I had lunch at Casablanca. It was a cute little spot with the kind of food you would expect to find at a beach side restaurant. I had fish & chips and fish tacos. It was a busy day and I waited for quite a while to get my food. The fish & chips was nice, though I could have wished for more of that scrumptious tartare sauce. The fish tacos were also ok, but I soon realized that everybody else was having seafood linguine. I can’t tell you what it tasted like, but the smell from the neighboring tables was intriguing and I regretted that I didn’t order that instead:)

Florida has a little bit of everything—sun-soaked beaches, big city vibes, laid-back island towns, and theme parks that basically deserve their own zip codes. Whether you're heading to Miami for a weekend getaway, planning a family trip to Orlando, or just chasing some warm weather along the Gulf Coast, where you stay can really shape your trip.
From sleek high-rises with ocean views to charming little hotels tucked away in quiet corners of the Keys, Florida has no shortage of great places to stay. Here’s a link to check out hotels across the state—whatever kind of trip you're planning, I hope you find a spot you’ll love.
