If you decide to use Winn Dixie sign up for a Winn Dixie card - as you can get some very good offers. We have saved quite a lot over the years.

Southern Dunes Clubhouse does some very nice meals and the Sunday breakfast buffet is always very popular.

There is also a Chinese takeaway just past Winn Dixie. The Orange Ring sells lovely freshly squeezed fruit juice. It is okay to cross the road as there are now pedestrian lights - we have done it. The other side of the road also has a Dollar Market, Dairy Queen, Liquer Store, Popeyes. Next door to Manny's is T-Bones which has a wide and varied menu. Each side of the road has a large chemist.

Sanford airport is approx 1hr 20 mins and there are 2 main driving options. First is to take the toll roads which can be quicker depending on the time of day you arrive or you can use mainly the US-17-92 / US-17 S / US-92 S and the I4 this is a shorter route and can take as long if not longer than the toll roads.

Check out the State Parks they are a great alternative for an outing - The Old Spanish Sugar Mill is a unique restaurant where you can cook your own pancakes on a griddle and is located inside the DeLeon Springs State park, we also went on a boat trip and saw quite a lot of wildlife.
