Hawaii Blue > Florida Red

How long would it take to drive from Alaska to Florida?

And the part of Florida where I live is a little blue haven in the midst of the red.

According to Google Maps directions, it would take nearly four days to drive but I don't think that includes sleeping, eating or other necessities. Say a little more than a week.

Florida = Best, Hawaii = Bestest

A week is a long-time - Also, Florida has too many New Yorkers.

I'm thinking of spending a week there after a cruise from Sydney to Honolulu, but I'm kind of not sure where to stay or what to do or how much it'll cost me as it's early stages in the planning stage yet...

btw, thanks for unbanning me

You're still banned!

They do cruises from Australia to Honolulu? That's a long boat-ride. Probably like New Zealand, Tahiti, Honolulu? I had no idea - I always just figured the Aussies flew in for the booze, what with the high price of alcohol in Australia - or at least thats the impression I got working at Don Ho's Island Grill (no more). Let me know if you have any questions about Hawaii - I know Oahu really well, Maui a little, and the Big Island decently, Kauai and Molokai second-hand. Waikiki is a necessary evil to keep to the tourists from driving us locals lolo (crazy). You can PM me with any questions in the DU2 (for now) or the DU3.

Aloha!
