Much better day.
After breakfast, we paid Bahia Mar, returned the keys, and moved the boat to the City Docks. No amenities but less than half the price.
Roy worked on the boat, while I went to Kinko's. This time, I knew exactly where it was. Ran off the copies, bought some manila envelopes, ate lunch at McDonald's, dropped off the film at Walgreen's, and returned to the boat. Addressed the envelopes and got them ready to mail. Then I suddenly realized the first 35 or so pages were the same ones I'd sent out from Acapulco, but I'd already sealed the envelopes, and I wasn't about to tear them open again.
The microwave oven has been malfunctioning, so we decided to go to Brandsmart USA and get a new one. They had an eight-page ad in the paper. Had a 600-watt microwave oven for less than $100.
Brandsmart was at a place called Sawgrass Mills. It was way out in the boonies. Took over an hour to get there by bus. Sawgrass Mills turned out to be the world's largest shopping center. It must have covered several square miles. There were a number of malls, each with dozens and dozens of shops. Luckily, Brandsmart was in the mall the bus stopped at.
It was a long walk through the mall to the store. We bought the oven we wanted. It weighed 30 pounds, and Roy had to carry it all the way to the bus stop. Then, when we got off the bus, he had to carry it four or five blocks to the boat.
