We arrived on schedule on Monday afternoon (Christmas Day) and had good luck with our first attempt at using Turo - sort of an air bnb for cars - with no delays in having the car dropped off to us. The guest house we are staying at - the Windamar - exceeded our expectations as well (booking online one never knows what the reality will be versus the website) and is located two blocks in from the beach about five blocks north of Sebastian Beach pictured above.
Monday evening after dinner, we went and saw the movie "Call Me By Your Name" which was excellent, although I liked the book even better. I can see why there is buzz about both Armie Hammer - who is very "hot" - and Timothée Chalamet doing well during awards season. Sadly, the movie has not yet played in perennially backwards Hampton Roads. If it does come to the area after we return, I will likely see it again.
Yesterday, we went by the home of some friends and picked up beach chairs and an umbrella before heading to Sebastian Beach for several hours. Later we went shopping in Wilton Manor and bought tuxedo jackets to wear to the Inaugural Ball on January 13th at Mix, a men's clothing store that we always visit when in Ft. Lauderdale. We followed that outing with dinner at Ethos, a wonderful Greek restaurant on Wilton Drive. After that, we went back to the guest house and crashed.
Not sure what we will do today as yet. Thursday evening, we will dine at the Lauderdale Yacht Club, pictured below.
