Q: We'll be flying into Fort Lauderdale and have several hours before we catch our cruise ship in Miami. Is there anything worth seeing between the two?

A: You could stop in Hollywood, about 10 miles south of Fort Lauderdale, and check out the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino (954-327-7625, www.seminolehardrock.com), with more than 2,500 slots and games, music memorabilia, dining, shopping and the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum, telling the story of the Seminole tribe with a film and a living village ($6). West of Hollywood, about 30 minutes from Lauderdale, there's Sawgrass Recreation Park, home of Cannibal, the 1,000-pound gator. Everglades airboat rides, too. Admission is $19.50.
