shopping location?

[yourwelcome]

As some of our group want to miss I.O.A. (NOT REALLY COASTER FANS) and would prefer a day of retail therapy which Mall is the closest by. Is it the florida mall or Mall at millenia?

Heres hoping its the Mall at millenia because I have a feeling thats where i will be instructed to drop off - collect.

Cheers Guys

Yes, Brian, the Mall at Millenia is very close to USF - just a few stops more on the I4 (exit 78 Conroy Road). A couple of times, we've also taken the 'back' route - follow I-Drive right to the top and take a right onto W Oak Ridge Road (just past Belz and Festival Bay) and then a left onto Millenia Blvd just after you pass beneath Florida's Turnpike. Millenia Blvd then takes you directly to the mall. I doubt it's any quicker, but we just like having a mooch around.

The Florida Mall is further, but still very easy to get to from USF. Just travel east on Sand Lake Road until you hit the Orange Blossom Trail - the mall will be on your right. You can either turn right at the intersection and onto the OBT and then left at the next lights into the mall, or carry straight on at the lights and then take any one of the several entrances into the mall on your right.

Just one last thing - I love shopping and I am definitely not a coaster fan, but I wouldn't miss IoA.

I'd do both too.
Don't know what it is but I actually enjoy visiting the malls, whereas back home DW says I'm a miserable *** and rather leave me at home.

For actual shopping I prefer the Florida Mall, it's more like the large Malls we get at home. The Mall at Millennia is good but I find it quite a bit dearer due to all the designer shops it has. Still worth a look though
