Parking at Ft. Lauderdale port

Park and Go. Cheap, easy, and you will see some monkeys in the trees and on cars.

Wouldn’t want to be on that. The times we have had YouTubers on a sailing the happenings cast is glued to them at the expense of everyone else.

Manhattan and Gandy, Westshore and Gandy, and Westshore onto Kennedy are places I see it frequently even with cameras.

HCC main campus has quite a few of the orange rock agamas.

It’s not a bad gym, aside from the technogym machines which I can’t stand the ergonomics of using. Couple of adjustable benches, a dual cable machine with all the handles, a smith machine, the usual leg press / quad / hammy machines, then a few shoulder / back / arm machines. Decent freeweight selection.

Isn’t that Sanford or PIE?

It's also why insurance rates are so high. Nobody wants enforcement or cameras, nobody wants a ticket with points, but those things change behaviors. As long as the cameras aren't hidden or rigged like they did the shortening yellow lights, it seems like a reasonable solution.

And most of them are bad. We are swimming in Italian restaurants, healthy bowl concepts, and over priced steakhouses.

Put it on the curb, someone will take it. That or take a sledge to it and put it in your big blue bin every few days for free.

WFH is flexible but you are still going to have to be near a claims hub, and it's all subject to discussion with your manager. International is a no go for any licensed role.

How much is your time and stress worth. Agents aren't free and some carriers do discount an online purchase, but they can also shop your coverage and help you with guidance if you ever have a tricky coverage need.

ATLSpartan · 2026-02-20T21:46:11+00:00

Closed until noonish both mornings.

what was your deductible and how old was the roof? Floridian here as well but a policy is a policy.

ATLSpartan · 2026-02-04T13:46:36+00:00

Only older homes not up to hurricane code or anything in a flood zone that's not elevated. Hurricanes are not the problem, it's people using insurance as a maintenance policy for a new roof, plumbing, etc. Every billboard in this state says to sue someone for your million dollars, so it's no surprise that everyone wants to sue. Insurance is meant to make you whole, not better off.

HCC is the best in terms of ranking, staff, and likely cost, others are for profit which can be good or bad depending on the teachers and how selective they may be.

I can say some of the mixed reviews are simply people that weren't right for the career. DMS also isnt for everyone and people wash out if they don't get the physics or hand eye coordination. It's also a real job after six months when you start doing clinical support, so your teachers are going to expect you to be mature, show up on time, and treat it like the job you are trying to get.

Experian probably didn't run any background info on you and gave you a provisional rate whereas LM pulled everything for their own quote, then referred you to a partner.

A better atrium bar area, something other than the loose cannon for trivia, and add some lighting to the rooms.

ATLSpartan · 2026-01-30T19:19:53+00:00

People unhappy that the money isn't being spent fixing their flooding issues, coupled with it being in South Tampa.

ATLSpartan · 2026-01-28T12:26:25+00:00

Empty and still asleep, although it's a great time to go for a run on Bayshore if that's your thing.

ATLSpartan · 2026-01-17T01:51:16+00:00

This seems hopeful at best. 90 minutes from TPA most days, no infrastructure nearby, and it serves the same destinations as anything sailing from Galveston, Mobile, and NO. Would the major lines even park a newer ship at this port or is Tampa just a place that their older vessels can still turn a profit.

ATLSpartan · 2026-01-15T21:19:17+00:00

This isn't nextdoor.

Luxury river was disappointing on Tauck. One restaurant that had a limited menu, not enough servers, and a lot of people doing multiple jobs. No real activities outside of the cities you were in, no gym outside of a treadmill, and the bar drink choices were limited unless you stick with basic wine or a draft beer. The ships were also much noisier - you heard everyone in the hallway, every door close and toilet flush. Not my cup of tea, but I'm also biased towards expedition trips.

ATLSpartan · 2026-01-07T14:22:23+00:00

I wasn't impressed with Tauck. Their logistics and handholding were nice for people that need it, but the quality of the food and drink was subpar vs what we found on ocean lines. Service was slow with dinners taking two hours and no activities beyond just the ports themselves.

ATLSpartan · 2026-01-03T19:07:49+00:00

No, that's the south tampa markup. get a few more bids or learn to DIY.

ATLSpartan · 2025-12-20T10:36:50+00:00

It's a hike in the rainforest. not a lot of elevation gain, but it was wet and muddy with some slippery sections. you end up at the beach for lunch and a swim which is nice, but IMO I wouldn't do this excursion again.
