Celebrated our Golden Wedding at Highgate Park in 2017 the year after Joan beat hers.

Oh sounds like you've had a tough time Mick
And yes you do right to stick with positivity
Florida is the perfect place to get away from all the bad stuff

Sadly over the 16+ years of our Dibb life there's been dozens of others far worse or who have paid the ultimate price for themselves and their families. We both just greet every new dawn with optimism. :grin

PS

Apologies for hijacking your thread. I'd still use 417 from SFB down to the Disney area.

Well my wife from my first marriage paid the ultimate price I'm afraid at only 40 years old.

Treasure every day Mick

We cut across to the I4 once after arriving into Sanford.
Whilst it is toll free, it was much busier and more stressful than using the 417.
I’d recommend the 417, easy to get onto from the airport too.

I agree with you, I've been studying Google Maps the 417 looks more straight forward, apart the tolls of course

How did you get the Sunpass? And how much was it?

if i remember, it just activated once we went through as i think they are built in and just paid the toll charges at the end of the holiday which was taken off the credit card automatically but it was 3 years ago so not sure if it works the same now.

Ah thanks for that, it does sound easier, more investigation needed I think
