I like the idea of making an arc. then I guess there really wouldn't be a rush and we could relax.
Um, I don't think we're on the same wavelength yet. My suggestion of an arc was that you choose a destination or series of destinations within that 1000 mile arc. Rule of thumb for your trip -- is that if you really want to have a relaxing trip, with time for camping, taking rides and some walks-- the total distance away from central Florida should not exceed 1000 miles. If you are going to make an arc -- total distance should probably not exceed 500 miles in any one direction -- that way you could have three driving days and the equivalent of two walking/strolling/camping days.
