SnoBird Lesson #1....
NEVER EVER leave Florida on the 31st of March or the 1st of April. Especially so if those dates occur on a weekend. We have at least 20 to 30 SnoBirds leaving Avalon on Saturday and Sunday. Multiply that by every RV, MH park in the state the numbers are overwhelming. That doesn't even include the SnoBirds that own a home or condo. Than add in the thousands upon thousands of spring breakers. Having all these folks on the hiway and having only I-75 and I-95 as the primary escape routes equals MAJOR, MAJOR traffic jams. Many SnoBirders wit until the 5th to the 15th of April but even than you will have heavy traffic. This is the primary reason we leave the first week of May, usually around the 6th.
