Being there’s no plane on Sunday, let’s see where a $5.00 adventure might lead us….Destination : Miami and a different type of Trifecta!!!

Fort Lauderdale Station 🚉 is the starting point for the trek. Being that I parked the rental car 🚗 there, the day will end there as well.

The No Plane reference is to the fact that I arrived ahead of my son and three granddaughters. So I have a day to fill and thus an adventure to create !

The first step was to purchase a $5.00 ticket 🎟 and head south towards Miami…

I will add to the post 📫 as the day plays out…

The Miami Marlins are hosting the San Francisco Giants today, and it’s 4 for $44 Day. Maybe that is stop ✋️ #1????

It would appear that the stop to take is the Metrorail Transfer, where you switch over ( same ticket still works) for the ride to downtown.

1:40 1st Pitch

Yeah, that’s the ticket 🎟 !!!

Music 🎶 is our friend 🧡

Free Hat 👒 for all Father’s ! Need proof for Lin that I didn’t buy another hat.
