We decided that we wanted to go to Florida for Christmas so decided on making this a road trip, it is 1166 miles to get to Orlando from where we live and the trip passes through, Texas, Louisianna, Missisippi, Alabama and Florida.
We departed December 19th at 14:00, we aimed to try and get to Pensacola for the first stop, but a traffic jam at Beaumont delayed us by two hours and in the end we only got as far as Baton Rouge, we stayed in a Hilton garden motel for night arriving at midnight.
Next morning we got up early and hit the road, on the journey we kept ourselves amuzed by looking for state line signs, tried to take photo's but where not very successfull, The Central Time/Eastern Time sign is in Florida and we managed to get a picture of that.
There really isn't much to see on the journey, especially the first day as most the driving was done in the dark, second day was a little better but once you hit Florida pan handle it gets pretty boring, up and down hill with trees either side!
We finally arrived at the villa which we booked through
Florida villa rentals. It was a 3 bedroom villa with a heated pool, which was a good choice as the water can be chilly in the winter, we even took our own christmas tree!
