Estero Fl to Anastasia SP

I am heading to Anastasia SP from southwest Fl in Jan. I know how to get there but am looking for a way to get past Orlando while pulling my 30ft TT without driving on I4 through downtown. DW has promised to shoot me if I ever use 301 again. Any help would be appreciated.
  • Not many choices. Orlando except for rush hours isn't that bad. You could take the 417 bypass but its toll and you will spend $15-20 with the TT or you could take 417 to 528, which is still toll but less to I-95 and go north. I-4 north of Orlando is under construction so going east to 95 might be the best bet.
  • You could take SR 70 from Arcadia east to I-95 and then head north. Might be as bad as 301 though. LOL
  • Unless you have an aversion to country driving, I would take I-75 up to FL80.
    Then at Labelle, go north on 29 to US27, then east on 70 to I-95.
    We have been to Ft. Myers on these highways. A few small towns and lots of cows.
    The route through Arcadia wouldn't be bad either.
