“Driving a vehicle from Mass. to Ft. Lauderdale for N.Y. Eve, I missed my plane back home early Monday morn. Flight got rescheduled for 8pm Monday, N.Y.Day. With nothing to do and stuck in airport for 8-9 hrs, I hit the internet and found the fishing boat trips. I had a great time. Made some travel friends, got some perfect 70° sunshine for 5hrs, and had a couple beers. It was perfect. Worth every penny spent. If you go, make sure to remember the deck hands' gratuity. Those guys know what they're doing. I just wish i didnt have to leave so soon. It sucked stepping out of Logan airport…”
