Christmas in Florida

Spur of the moment decision, but we just booked a week's stay at the Pine Island KOA. I am going to drive down with the TC at least a day before my wife and daughter fly down. Our little one is only four, so sixteen-plus hours in the truck would have been a little much for her. I know the reviews for this particular KOA are not the greatest, but it will only serve as our base camp while we explore the area for a week before heading back to the cold here in Ohio.

  • Go to Sanibel and show them the Christmas lights. They go all out on it. It'll cost you $6 for the toll but it'll be well worth it

    Stop in at Robbie's Marina for a bite to eat and feed the Tarpon. :)

    He will be around 3 hours away from there.
  • I would recommend our favorite eating places but with a four year old I doubt you will be going out much.

    Will do. The actual route will be a game day decision based on existing conditions. I-75 is the alternate route.

    We are going to try jimh425. The fastest route according to the internet machine is down I-77, so I'll be going that direction unless something changes.

  • Have fun in the warmer weather! Good luck on the trip down I-75. Well, I'm assuming I-75, but maybe I-65. :)
