Florida Museum
I went to Old Florida Museum in St. Augustine twice; the first time was nice and there weren’t many people there, so I could keep the pace slow and explore everything.

On all our trips to Florida, I-95 has loomed ahead as the most practical route. It may have a bad reputation for traffic upsets, but on our last trip down to St. Augustine, I-95 was an exceptionally pleasant ride. The lanes are well-kept, and in some places the route …

Motoring in Northern France
As someone who has driven around England quite a bit I feel well qualified to comment that driving around France is so much more appealing. Of course France has it made with the advantages of size and population but this is not all that makes driving there more preferable.
