What a beautiful place, on all of our trips to Florida, we have never been to the coast. Maybe on our next trip we should!!

[@AndyandRachel]

Totally recommend it :)

[@PogiboyProductions]

You guys listed some awesome places! I like the beach, that's where I'll be the majority of the time lol.. and I'm a sucker for some good coffee. Cute kitty!

[@AndyandRachel]

Thanks Vern! The beach and coffee do sound like a fabulous combo although probably not together hehe Have a good one

[@AndyandRachel]

Hey guys, thanks for stopping by! So glad you enjoyed this one :)

[@RileyRoams]

Excellent recommendations! We were hoping for a Florida trip soon but we had to push it back. We'll for sure save a few of these places for when we do make it down there. I think y'all have recommended renting bikes before and I really like that idea, as long as we can fit Riley in a basket! 🤣

[@AndyandRachel]

Haha! Does Riley enjoy bike rides? It’s so nice to get away to Florida in the middle of this cold long winter! I’m excited to go check out the latest videos.

[@RileyRoams]

@@AndyandRachel well she's never been on one but if we're with her she enjoys most things haha. We've been up in Wisconsin and Michigan for the last few weeks and are heading to Savannah soon, I think the temperature change will be a shock to our bodies! Haha

[@AndyandRachel]

@@RileyRoams It would be the cutest video with Riley in the bike basket! brrrr but so beautiful up in Wisconsin/Michigan. I loved watching your last video! What a sweet tiny home. Excited to catch Savannah!

[@AndyandRachel]

So glad you guys found it helpful :)

[@ms.kayak7seas]

Hi Andy and Rachel. Gorgeous FL beach and sunshine. Cannot walk without a pair of sunglasses. Oh..yes...Fort Lauderdale...sophisticate living in high cost living, I may say. Happy Anniversary to Me? 2/14 lol As usual, very formative and friendly talk.OMG how did you mount your cam while you were biking? What? Did you kayak? Tiko Boat? lol You must own a boat if you decide to reside here. What happened for snorkeling, Rach? I miss FL..Palm trees..I am ready for spring. Superb!

[@AndyandRachel]

haha so glad you enjoyed it! We just didn't see much snorkeling but it was still a fun adventure. Thank you so much for watching and leaving your comments. So good to hear from you. We so appreciate the tropical weather down there.

[@tanloctl8267]

Beautiful place. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe always

[@AndyandRachel]

So kind of you. Thank you :)

[@HereToCheers]

Haven't spent much time in FT Lauderdale but I see cheap flights to there so maybe we'll have to change that 😁😁 Is it bad we knew it was Kilwins just by the chocolates in the case LoL These all look like great locations. Pompano sounds like a great place to us.11:01 looks like that seagull was coming in for you lunch.

[@AndyandRachel]

Haha right!!! I’m so glad our video peeked your interest😁Pompano would be a great place to stay! Not only do they have the pelican taxi bus that can take you down to Lauderdale By The Sea, but they also have the circuit in Pompano, so you could get around a small area easily for free to a few dollars at a time. The flight’s definitely drew us in too and we’re glad we went for it.

[@OakbyBetina]

Awe you visited my State. Ft Laud is beautiful. Next time, go to Key West. It's a b out 9 hours south of Ft Laud. Lots of history. Take care and be safe.

[@AndyandRachel]

Andy has been to Key West. I have been wanting to go but it's a bummer how far it is from airports since we save so much $ not renting a car while traveling. One of these days we will have to splurge. Thanks for watching and for the Florida insider tip!

[@maxdexpeditions]

Home exchange sounds fun! Nicely put-together video. Warm weather, beautiful beaches, great food, Florida is awesome! I will definitely reference this if we ever get there. ❤

[@AndyandRachel]

Yes! So many spots you could kayak around there. Thank you for all of your kind words! Glad you found it helpful.

I've never been to Fort Lauderdale before. But wow, beautiful!! I wish I was there right now with those beautiful beaches, bright blue skies and warm weather! It's been chilly and snowy here in Canada and I sure do miss Florida lol! What a lovely bike ride! Oh the beach, absolutely beautiful. Love being out on the water, and love seeing all of those boats! The Yellow Green Market looks so lovely. I love going to markets like that. Can't go wrong with snorkling! Awesome video you guys, thanks for sharing! Wish I was there right now :)

[@AndyandRachel]

Thank you for all of your comments, Meg! I'm so glad you enjoyed the warm beaches virtually. We are back home in PA now missing the warm weather. Hope you make it to Fort Lauderdale one day! It's so beautiful.

I've never used home exchange, I'm soo interested! I need to look into that more. Loved the vlog, I've been to Florida, but not Fort Lauderdale yet. Sucks your hubby was sick on your anniversary, but yeah life's not perfect right. So many things to do and see in Fort Lauderdale; I must go!

[@AndyandRachel]

Yes! There really is so much to do and eat in the area lol thanks so much for checking it out. Honestly, we are obsessed with HomeExchange because it has totally changed our lives. I actually made a video all about HomeExchange. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZuopmx5Zspojposi=mVGKOWsTF-qaEzbI

[@JaseG35]

Great video! You mentioned the “Free” water taxis? The link you provided shows that you need to buy passes. Can you clarify? Is there a free segment of the taxi? Thanks

[@AndyandRachel]

Thanks for watching Jase and Great question! The Fort Lauderdale Taxi that goes from Deerfield Beach, Hallendale Beach, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale and Lauderdale-By-The-Sea has a fee. They have a smaller boat (that we rode in the video) that only stays only on a 2-mile stretch in Fort Lauderdale, the "Water Trolley". We did not need tickets or any reservations ahead of time and it was indeed free.

[@AndyandRachel]

Here is more on the free water trolley. This info is how we found it. miamionthecheap.com/free-water-trolley-fort-lauderdale/

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

I am trying to decide today on where to stay on the Fort Lauderdale area … where would be your choice from Lauderdale by the Sea, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Deerfield, or Delray? I just cannot seem to decide! 🤪 We are traveling there the first week of Feb & it’ll be our first time to this area. I’d appreciate your opinion!

[@AndyandRachel]

Hey, the first time we stayed, I went with my gut and stayed in Hollywood and I would absolutely do that again! In general, we found the prices to be more reasonable in Hollywood, and actually quite like the vibe there. When we were searching anyways, we found Airbnb’s close to the water. Very nice area there.

[@AndyandRachel]

Also, hope you have tons of fun!

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

@@AndyandRachel thank you so very much for your info!! I truly appreciate it! We’ve been to so many places in FL (even to Boca & Delray) but not the others. It’s hard to know what to choose!
