I have been to Florida just one time. In July 2011, I got the idea to take a few days off from work and fly down to Florida to see the final shuttle launch. I'm glad that I did it but coming up with a strategy to get from the hotel to the launch site was rough. I was close to renting a car to get there because none of the taxi companies were willing to do it and there was zero public transportation (OR SIDEWALKS).
