During our online chat (most Mondays at 2 p.m.), you ask and we answer your travel questions -- mostly. Here's one we couldn't get to last week.

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?

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, http://www.seminolehardrock.com), with more than 2,500 slots and games, music memorabilia, dining, shopping and (now this actually sounds interesting) 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.
