For anybody that lives in Florida...you know what I-4 is! It is better known as Interstate 4 to all others and is in the dead center of Central Florida.
Unfortunately, I live in the "I-4 Corridor" and must take this dreaded highway to get to work everyday.(it really makes me want to slit my wrist sometimes) Some days are good and some days are bad. But the bad usually outweigh the good.
There is ALWAYS an accident somewhere, cops are always pulling someone over, and their is soooo many damn tourist driving sooooooo slow everywhere! No don't get me wrong I love tourists, because let's be honest I work in a hotel and they pretty much give me my paycheck every week, but can't you just take a shuttle to Disney, or call a cab.
I must not just blame it on them though. Us Floridians also cause some of the chaos. We know our way around were always speeding and switching lanes to get where were going..c'mon it's flat & straight down here...Fast Floridans + Slow Sightseers = My Road Rage.
Dear whoever this may concern down at City Hall,
Here's a few points I would like to address with you:
- Is it really necessary to put an on ramp right in front of an off ramp?
- Downtown Orlando...which exit to I get off now?? I'm so confused.
- Aren't we suppose to be lowering our carbon footprint?...So about you give some money to the hotels so they can provide shuttles so we can get some of these tourists off the roads and into a nice Mears bus.
- Umm, where does this toll money go from all the toll roads (408, 417, 528)..seriously I pay more in tolls going to the beach then I pay in groceries.
- And one last point that doesn't relate to roads....If you build one more 7-eleven, Walgreens, or Denny's I'm going to snap....honestly, do I look like that much of a fatass that I need any more slurpees, gummi bears, or horrible pancakes?
I would really like if you can address some of these problems or answer some of these questions, if not I shall continue on my angst fueled driving and continue to blare my horrible horn when someone pisses me off.
Thanks,
Lil Woman

I've been on that road before. It literally made me carsick!
I feel ya girl! I was watching the news the other night and they said that Dallas roads have been ranked in the top 4 for crowded highways. I think LA & Chicago beat us..

((and no, i don't have kids.. i meant students.. i'm a teacher =) ))
Oh, I remember those days. I lived in Jacksonville for about a year and Holy Hell, it is just as bad as New England in the fall. The changing colors of the trees bring out the "Leaf Peepers" who all feel it is acceptable to drive 15mph.
Hello and thanks for stopping by! The dogs are bullmastiffs...which explains their size. I thought I should let you know that I might just be hooked on your Martha Mondays posts! Great idea!
The next time you are stuck in traffic, roll down your windows and think that it could be worse....you could be stuck in 30 degree weather like your blogfriend Gina!
HAHA! I love it! I have TERRIBLE Road Rage sometimes (most of the time!)....some days Atlanta can be just as bad!
Wellll... I kind of get REALLY excited when I see that highway!! It means I have left behind Canada's -25 weather and am going to be in the sun for a week! haha!
16 sleeps until I see it again! WOO! ahaha
Ha ha I have to admit I am one of those tourists - altho I know the Orlando area so well by now that I am always going way faster than I should be. I would totally agree tho - accidents ALL THE TIME!!! I am huge Realrock101 fan - I have to make do with podcasts as we can't get live-streaming! Can't believe Taco Bob got fired :0(
