Scenic route beats bullet train

I’m big on taking the scenic route, especially when the destination is Orlando.

Maybe Route 64 east to U.S. 27 and turn north.Or Route 62 east to U.S. 37 then north.

Or east to U.S. 17, then north and over to U.S. 27.

It’s involved, but I avoid Interstate 4 as much as I can.

Even if my future bride is riding shotgun.

“I’d like to get there sometime today,” is Sherri Manring’s refrain.

Sounds like a candidate for the proposed bullet train.

Too bad we may not live long enough to see it in Manatee County.
