Driving from FLL to Fort. Myers

[stewcrews]

We saved about $800 in airfare with a 5:30 PM nonstop from Fort Myers.

Looks like a 2 or 3 hour drive. Anyone done this?

Drive that route quite often. Piece of cake, two hour drive straight across Alligator Alley. ;)

have fun counting the abandoned cars in the middle or side of the road.

Funny, I drive that route quite frequently and rarely see any abandoned cars :confused:

Abandoned cars, point them out to me too. Have never seen any either. Is that a Maine thing?:confused:

I do it often. You have to keep your wits about you. It's a long, straight road with only two curves and one rest stop. That can cause boredom and boredom causes accidents. Just make sure you have a full tank of gas before you start out, keep your speed to the limit and you'll be fine. Two - two and a half hours should do it, depending on your driving habits.

 

BTW - I've seen many bad accidents but never a lot of abandoned cars. As a matter of fact, there is a distinct lack of them.

I drive it all the time and live in Fort Myers near the airport.( New terminal is great). It takes about 2 1/2 hours and the ride is very boring. As a previous poster said make sure you have a full tank of gas and the radio cranked up load to keep you awake. Hopefully you will have company with you to make the ride less boring.

 

As far as abandoned cars that a previous poster was seeing it must have been an halucination from the boring ride.

On my way to fort myers and back i counted at least 10 cars on the side or middle of the road. I guess I could have been dreaming it.
