Tropical Storm Bonnie is bringing surfer-approved waves to the normally calm waters off Fort Lauderdale beach. Except for an occassional wind gust, today's storm wasn't too bad -- just a lost day at the beach.

Travel advice from Phil Keoghan

Remember when Phil Keoghan of The Amazing Race gave Erica Smith and me travel advice? The fun starts at 2:15. BTW: I'm like 95% sure the title "An Amazing Duo" refers to us.

The backstory: I was visiting Erica during a weekend trip to The Lou and Ross Mathews sent out this tweet. As a blog buddy, of course I had to answer the call to action and sent in my info. He rang us a few minutes later... and that's it. I didn't say it was a good story.
