January Vacation in Fort Lauderdale

by Sue
(Minnesota)

A January vacation with a friend in Fort Lauderdale, Florida is my favorite winter escape. I leave my family at home in the frigid snow banks of Minnesota. We stay at a resort right on the beach and close to shopping and entertainment.

We spend many of our days on the beach enjoying the sun's warmth on our skin, relaxing to the sound of the waves.

When we get tired of that we may take a water taxi (they run like buses throughout Fort Lauderdale) to Las Olas Blvd., one of many great shopping districts or the fabulous Galleria Mall.

We take advantage of the many museum and gallery options at our disposal on other days.

There are great restaurants in Fort Lauderdale and lots of fun clubs for night time outings. It's a great place for a winter vacation getaway.
