It was 1168 miles from our garage in central Texas to Port Orl FQ which took about 20 hours. Thanks to portable DVD players I never had to hear the dreaded words" are we there yet" but I did get the "joy" of listening to my wife and our 3 and 7 year old daughters sing at the top of their lungs with their headphones on and all listening to different songs and different types of music at times. If it weren't for my ipod and control over the car radio, I would have been insane at the end of the return trip.
You people that live in Florida are so lucky. All we have here is six flags, Sea World and the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs.
