That Feel

From Orlando Int'l to Mt Dora 

You do!? Well that doesn't do me any good since I need to get to Mt Dora...and this is how you do it.

Firstly...click on the map (above) because it'll open up to a larger picture that you can then print or copy or just plain marvel at. Now that you've committed that to memory, you can get on your way.

Orlando International Airport is big: something you'll have figured out while riding the monorail between the gates and the main terminal. I can't help you out with all the car stuff, but it's pretty straight-forward. You know, steering wheel...gas pedal. Yeah.

Anyway, Airport Boulevard circles the main terminal and has interstate-style signage. You want 528 west and Florida wants you to want 528 west because they've put a handy toll on it. So have a single ready. From 528 west you'll want to connect to 91 north-west. I say north-west because I'm not positive about the label on the signs...either north or west. From there keep an eye out for 429 north to Apopka. Florida has also put a handy toll on this road...$1.00 if memory serves. Take 429 until it runs into 441/500...also known as Orange Blossom Trail. Go to the left on 441/500 and settle in for a 16+ mile ride to the hotel. The hotel, by the way, will be on your left between the intersections of 44c and 19.

In a nutshell:

Airport Boulevard to 528 west,
528 west to 91 north-west,
91 north-west to 429 north (Apopka),
Go left onto 441/500 (Orange Blossom Trail),
Ride along for 16 miles (or so) wondering why the radio stations are such crap,
And find the Comfort Inn on your left past 44c and before you get to 19.

Voila!
