Comments
This should be a great ride. Very little pure interstate mileage. Most of the time is spent on the famous Florida A1A rolling with the ocean on one side passing through a long list of beach towns. If the traffic is bad or progress much slower than expected, I can always duck back to the interstate or state highway. But this is time to be enjoyed. This is the last night in Florida, state of my birth.
