Hi all. I am taking Amtrak from Wisconsin to Orlando. People have advised me to rent a car and drive to the port. This is tempting, especially as our train doesn't leave until 6 PM on the day we return to port, and with a car we would have better means of kiliing all that time.
However... I am basically a small town girl. Where I live your major traffic hazards include Amish buggies and farm tractors on the road. What would it be like driving from the Amtrak depot ( on a street called Sligh and near a hospital area) to Port Canaveral? What are the speed limits? Does anyone obey them? How thick is the traffic? We would be arriving Friday midday, should Amtrak be on time, to take a 7-day cruise that both departs and returns on a Saturday.
