I will be going around the hollidays, in Nov and again in Dec.
I am not sure if I should try to drive it from Jacksonville or Fly.
I am not sure where to stay but hopefully close to F.I.U. to see my granddaugher play.
Should I take the turnpike?
Is it expencive to eat there or should I just bring my can of beans?
Any help will be great.
I will have to rent a car if I drive. Have not done that in years. Help with this too.
Thanks.

Drive! Take I95 to 595 west to turnpike south, It is right off the turnpike. Make sure you have a sunpass! There are a lot of hotels in the area with the close proximity to the airport and Doral. Hotels will probably have a shuttle that can take you to the campus. Also, call the university, I am sure that they will have info to help you out. You should also check with your Granddaughter, relatives often get preferential treatment ie: tickets, parking, accommodations.

thank you. I will try. I am not sure if I can drive much but the one granddaughter i tought to drive is wanting to ride with mom. It is her time with mom now that the oldest left.
I wonder how many blocks I would get to just stick my thumb out. Made it to SC once with future husband many moons ago. A fine way to meet my future mom in law I tell you.
Got to figure something.

How much is turnpike? Not many cut off on it is there. Google says more miles.
Anyone know any thing about renting car?

You have to use the turnpike, the campus is off the turnpike, go to turnpikeinfo.com for info and cost. I'm sure you will be traveling down for the next few years, so go ahead and purchase a portable sunpass, I think they're 20 bucks, the toll you will save will make up for the cost, not to mention the aggravation and traffic that you will bypass. If you are coming from Jax, you will only take it from 595 to to your hotel or the campus, so it wont be that much. Also, if you are driving around Miami metro, you will be taking additional toll roads, if you are in south florida you gotta have a sunpass.
As far as rental cars, join aarp, its only $16/yr and they have great discounts on rental cars (and other things too). They will also deliver to your home, or come and pick you up.

My daughter and grand are leaving tomorrow for Olderst Birthday in Miami. Her first one away from home. . I Hope I can make some games. They play a lot. I am so glad her h.s. coach had them play so many. The farthest I drove was Mayo florida. I did not make the Ga games.

anyone know what is going on with the weather there. Grand is in a Dorm 3rd floor but says she feels safe. It is also a shelter and they are feeding them 3 x a day. They will get it before us.
