3 hours from TPA to FLL ??
Maybe things have really changed since I lived in TPA. I-75 didn't go to the east cost back then. And I guess you're really Apollo Beach. So I'm thinking of the 5+ hours on Alligator Alley to MIA. But still ....3 hours ??
Oh yea .. unless you have something against the small planes, the Beech 1900 is fine. Noisy, bouncy and excellent views.
