[Magdalen] Another day, another hotel

[ROGER STOKES]

Unfortunately the signs at the Welcome Center said that EZ Pass is not compatible with Florida's SunPass.  Let the reader wonder why there might be this inbuilt incompatibility.  As for using 95 rather than 295 I was following my GPS.  This was one of the situations where ignorance (of the alternative) was anything but bliss.

Have you thought of just getting an EZ Pass? They're free. I've grown
very fond of mine.

Or would one of the people you're visiting just give you one?

I never take 95 through Jacksonville. 295 is a few more miles but
faster and smoother.

Speaking of faster&smoother, visited a friend in Kissimmee awhile
ago and discovered that US4 thru Orlando is awful but the toll road
is wide open and delightful. Definitely worth the $5.50 or whatever it
ended up costing.  Whatever you do, don't run a toll. The rental companies'
surcharges are dreadful.

I appreciate Dave Barry's comment about Miami: All the drivers are
driving lawfully, they're just driving according to the laws of their
native
countries.
