TORTUGA MUSIC FESTIVAL 2015

5 months til the Tortuga Music Festival on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida!  Just finished booking our rooms for the weekend, Yes - 5 months out,  The hotels are booking fast so I didn't want to take any chances.   I found a great group of boutique hotels in North Beach Village - clean and neat and reasonably priced.  The big chain hotels are charging $300-400 a night.
Last year we stayed at the Beach Gardens Hotel and wanted to book there again.  But they have a wedding party booked that weekend.

Bummer, but there are several other properties in the Village, so we chose Tranquilo for our stay this time.  Can't wait - it's going to be a great time!
