Are there plenty of taxis or Ubers to catch to airport? Any experience if going to taxi stand is faster than calling for an uber

We are cruising from FLL in November 27 but will spend a little time in Florida prior to cruise. We fly into Miami and pick up rental car and have two nights booked in Sawgrass area as we are seeing a NHL game on Wednesday night. Right now I have the next three nights booked at a Wyndham on Pompano Beach. It looks like it’s a quiet area but we will have a car to get around. Is there another area that might be a bit more lively with lots to do in walking distance? I picked this area as it was reasonably priced with parking included and Beach right across the street. A nice pool and restaurants and some shopping are my top priorities! Thanks

In 2022, I've travelled in Europe, US and Canada. I was very anxious on my first trip out, but my comfort level with all aspects of travel has improved the more I ventured out. Basically in Europe and US everyone has declared it over and moved on and you rarely see masks and no one stares if you cough etc. I mean no one is denying its around, but it just feels like in those countries they are moving forward "back to normal". In Canada I see this happening more and more - lots fewer people wearing masks, but I still see masks way more than in other countries. I was on the a flight from Paris back to Toronto on the first day when no masks were required - the flight over masks were mandatory but I'd say only 20% of the plane wore a mask on the way home and there was lots of coughing. I have had covid twice now - the first bout was a lot of heavy coughing but the second bout was just sniffles. Everyone has their own comfort level and if you wore a mask while traveling I don't think anyone would give it a second thought. As you say, this is going to be around for a while - someone said to the the other day - prior to covid I used to get a cold twice a year, now I expect I'll get covid twice a year.

Just got back from a quick trip from yyz to Chicago. Our outbound flight was at 10am on Saturday. The security line was pretty normal starting outside in the hallway. I have nexus and was able to bring my husband through with me so security was quick. I had already prepped our passports in the app and filled in the questions ahead of time (was a bit confusing when it asked what your entry airport was - I figured out I needed to out Toronto since this is where customs was) and when I got to airport I clicked the button that says “are you at airport now” and it prompts you to take a selfie of each person and then produces a QR code that must be shown to customs officer along with your passport. The line for Nexus and regular passengers without anything we’re both longer than this app line. Some people were coaching others on how to download app and fill it out on the spot so they could join our line!

I just love swimming in warm waters of the Caribbean, but the medication that I'm on makes me sensitive to sun and I break out in itchy rashes. So I'm looking for a beach with good shade an relatively calm waters. We will rent chairs with an umbrella, but I'd also like to be sitting under a tree with more shade coverage. We dock in Crown Bay on Celebrity Beyond on Dec 1. We have an early arrival so were thinking to get a taxi to a beach around 8:30am and stay until just before noon. Any advice for shady beach? Thanks

About three weeks ago I applied to renew my Nexus that was expiring March 2023. Yesterday I was notified that it was approved and extended to 2028! Guess my new card will come in the mail. Unfortunately my husband who forgot to renew prior to expiring during pandemic is still waiting for his new application to be approved and then I guess he’s need an interview?
