This is good advice. I would add Orlando is a nightmare to me and some people would have more fun staying in St Augustine, or even Savannah. Since you will be spending good time in a rental, splurge for a van or large SUV. I would fly into Tampa or Jacksonville if it saved me $500 on tickets and/or car rental.

After the launch, drive that badboy down to key west and experience one of the greatest American road trips. Your family will never forget it.

Im going to agree, stay away from Orlando. Far away. Dont even drive near it. That city has its own gravitational pull, and if you get caught anywhere within 20 miles, you are 100% going to get stuck in a traffic jam. I call it the mousetrap.

Thanks! My husband and I are miserable traffic people. The rental car is a good idea since we’ve never been to Florida we’d be able to make the most of it no matter what!
