Fort Lauderdale: Flying in Florida

Last time I was in Florida, I rented a small Cessna and went for sightseeing along Florida’s coast. I don’t have a valid certificate for small piston engine airplanes, so I went up with an instructor. It turned out to be a really good idea, because then I had my hands free for taking photos and videos of the beautiful flight.

We started out flying along the coastline parallel to Las Olas Boulevard, and I spotted the Ritz-Carlton, where I stayed the last time I was in Fort Lauderdale. Then we flew down to Miami and saw Fisher Island and South Beach. I have only been to Miami twice, and both times were very short visits, but it is a city that I would love to know better. The combination of beach life and big city sounds just perfect to me, plus they have Joe’s Stone Crab, which, in addition to stone crab, makes the most delicious Key Lime Pie.  

We flew all the way down to the northern Florida Keys before it was time to turn around and fly back to Fort Lauderdale. I really like Florida Wouldn’t mind living in Fort Lauderdale when I get old and retire, so I could go flying and enjoy the view every day. .

Florida might be known for theme parks and alligators, but there is so much more to the Sunshine State. Most of my time here has been spent in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, exploring beaches, neighborhoods, great food, and all the small discoveries that make this part of Florida such a fun place to visit. On this blog I share the spots I have enjoyed, the ones I am still on the fence about, and the places I keep coming back to, from pastel art deco streets in Miami Beach to quiet corners and good cafés in Fort Lauderdale. Whether you are here for beach days, good food, or a bit of winter sun, I hope you find something useful for your own Florida plans.
