Absolutely beautiful morning to fly out of Seattle. Left the hotel, checked my bag, went through security and was seated at my gate in 40 minutes. Good start. On to Denver.

Beautiful weather in Denver and layover passed quickly. Word of caution, do not buy a Chicago Dog (hot dog) in the airport from a chain called "Jerry's." Over priced and under delivered. Not long for their space I'm thinking. The Angry Orchard hard cider helped.

After all the years of complaining about United Airlines, I have to give them a big thumbs up for the service I received today. Early arrival time, luggage arrived with only one broken lock, 2 clean and new airplanes, smiles and general welcoming attitude. Thank you.

Arrived early enough to get free shuttle to Marriott Courtyard, Fort Lauderdale. I really like this chain. Clean room and marketplace open at midnight to get some yogurt and bottled water.
