Our adventure started with the night before our departure from Upstate NY being spent at the NY State Fair watching Jeff Foxworthy and eating Dinosaur BBQ until 11:00 pm. The only problem with this is that we planned on leaving our home in the Syracuse NY suburbs at about 4:00 am in order to make the hour drive to Rochester NY airport by 5:00 am for a 6:50 am departure on AirTran Airlines flight to Orlando.
With little sleep I loaded luggage and family into the SUV and we left, almost on time, and arrived in Rochester at about 5:25 am with time to spare.
Our plan was to fly to Orlando, rent a car, spend the day at Walt Disney World, and then travel to Disney's Vero Beach resort where we spent the night. The next morning we continued our trek. First dropping the rental car off at Alamo's location near MIA and then taking their shuttle to the Port of Miami.
