emilyrose Posted March 3, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2006 hey everyone! I am an obsessive planner, and get a great deal of enjoyment out of it! So, I am double checking the mapquest directions that i've obtained for our trip with some locals (hopefully :) ). Where I live, Mapquest tends to be behind on construction changes and doesn't always give the most practical directions. I wonder if someone can tell me how these directions will be. We are renting a car. From FLL to Amerisuites on SE 17th: Start out going SOUTHWEST on TERMINAL DR. 0.7 miles Merge onto N FEDERAL HWY / US-1 S / FL-5 S / FL-A1A S toward DANIA BEACH / HOLLYWOOD. 0.6 miles Turn SLIGHT RIGHT onto GRIFFIN RD / FL-818 W.

Time: 13 minutesTotal Est. Distance: 8.46 miles Then from Amerisuites to the Port of Miami: Start out going WEST on W SUNRISE BLVD / NW 10TH ST / FL-838 W. 0.2 miles Merge onto I-95 S via the ramp on the LEFT toward MIAMI. 25.3 miles Take the I-395 exit- EXIT 2D- on the LEFT toward MIAMI BEACH. 0.8 miles Take the N.E. 2ND AVE. exit- EXIT 2B- toward US-1 / BISCAYNE BLVD.. 0.1 miles Take the ramp toward US-1 / BISCAYNE BLVD. <0.1 miles Stay STRAIGHT to go onto NE 11TH TER. <0.1 miles Take the US-1 S / BISCAYNE BLVD exit. <0.1 miles Turn RIGHT onto BISCAYNE BLVD / US-1 S. 0.3 miles Turn SLIGHT LEFT onto PORT BLVD / FL-886 E. 0.8 miles Turn RIGHT onto N AMERICA WAY. <0.1 miles Turn RIGHT onto CARIBBEAN WAY. 0.1 miles CARIBBEAN WAY becomes N AMERICA WAY. 0.1 miles End at 1015 N America WayMiami, FL 33132-2017, US Total Est.

Rare Lois R Posted March 5, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Hi,:) are you sure your mapquest is correct? I agree with Bequia, the Fort Lauderdale Airport is very close to Port Everglades and Amersuites is very close to both places. If you are going towards WestPalm Beach you will be going in the wrong direction. WPB is north of Fort Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signman Posted March 7, 2006 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2006 The sign for the entrance to 595/95 from S. Federal Hwy may be missing. I just passed it tonight and didn't notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
