Which route? Destin, Florida to DFW?

[Grape]

drive to spinks airfield from my house, (10 mins) get on Hawker 800 or the Premier and be to VPS in about an hour and 10 minutes. around 630 nautical miles.

Fucking pimp, how much does a flight like that cost?

Eh. probably to much for me anyway, I can fly to PCB through Southwest for $159.00.

I've tried all three, and option 2 is the best, by far. I was in Pensacola for 3 yrs and Jacksonville for 4 yrs. I've probably made the trip 20+ times.

i don't even want to think about it, my friend's father owns both of the planes and i get to hear him bitch everytime they have to turn the plane around because the old man left something on his nightstand or something of that nature.

lol!

I'd be going through a check list of shit for the old timer before we left. Ive been on to many road trips and had to turn around, we've also left shit behind, but it was to late to turn around and not worth the time.

I made that exact drive last Sat and took the #3 route. I was hauling ass and made it from door to door in about 11.5 hours. I probably would have decreesed my time, but the whole concept of "slower traffic keep right" is too confusing for a hight % of drivers.

Some people just don't have the mental capacity to know that the slow lane is to the right, fuck!

And yes, 11.5 is a great time from DFW to Destin/Pensicola or L.A.* as its called, lmao! Same amount of time to South Padre and way nicer beaches and shit to do...



*Lower Alabama.

Yeah, nevermind. He will jack you in the jaw or worse kick you off his private plane, lmao!

I saw you are taking route #3 above....just FYI, I have some good friends that own a place in SeaGrove (half way between Destin and Panama City), they drive back and forth from their home in Southlake literally about 5-6 times per year (for the past ~8 years now), and they always take that route. When we go visit them out there we take that route as well.

Edit - a little tip/difference in your route....we always take 190 to avoid inner-city Lafayette and also inner city Baton Rouge...coming from the east take a look at your map, you will catch 190 before you get into Baton Rouge, and it will take you up a little north and then straight across west all the way to Opelousas....it will save you a considerable amont of time.

Safe travels.

Done that drive to many times route #1 has to many towns to slow you down. Route 2 isn't bad unless you are pulling a large trailer. I been using #3 the last few years it's a easy drive but baton rouge at 5pm does suck but not as bad as Dallas 5pm traffic.

[SMKR]

I'll be doing option three in reverse in about 2 hours

We left around 1030 this morning and just stopped in baton rouge for lunch. We have run 10 over the whole time with traffic and no cop issues whatsoever. Only 479 miles to go with a wife, 5 year old, 2 year old and 7 week old.....
