Ten days and counting!

Half Dimes · 11-29-2009, 04:49 PM

Assuming the rainy weather has passed by then, we plan on going over to Dixie Crossroads on Thursday (their scallops are calling me!). Anybody else going?

We are stopping for a few days at Lazy Days, Rally Park, on the way to Christmas RV Park.. It looks like, from there, we take I-4 to the Beeline (528) then take SR 520 for a short distance to Taylor Creek RD. to 50 to Nicholas.
Does that sound right? Does the Beeline (528) allow motorhomes?

First -- Dixie Crossroads sounds good to us for Thurs evening.

Second to Tom -- Yes, the Beeline does allow Moho's -- that was our route of choice when we lived there but I would make a couple of alterations to your route
First instead of going all the way to 528 on I4 -- take 417 East which actually goes out around Orlando and meets with 528 (Beeline). Then take the Beeline to Route 407 (not sure if it says North or East) to I 95N. Get off 95 at Route 50 and go about 8 miles west on 50. Park is on the right going west. Hope this helps -- it avoids some of the Orlando traffic and local roads.

See yall on Thursday

Tom,
We come in from the northwest and take the East-West Expressway (408) from the turnpike and get off on SR50 west of Christmas. 408 could be an option for you coming up I-4 to exit 82, I think. You do get some more traffic depending on the time of day, however.

We're watching the weather forecasts for the predicted storm front. First it was going to be Wednesday night, now they're saying Thursday morning. Better not interfere with my scallop run.

I wonder where the Irv2 server is. All the times are about 5 hours ahead; or is it just me again. Oh, Bill said that.

Check your time setings on this site. Go to UserCP then click on edit options, you should see you time zone down on the list GMT -5 eastern time zone. Also have DST on.
