Having negotiated arrivals, customs and immigration, we quickly make our way to the Car Rental offices. The main rental firms have offices on site at the airport, rather than having to get transport to an outlying area of the airport. So it's collect luggage, quick exit from main terminal and into one of either Hertz, Dollar, Budget, Enterprise etc - we opt for Hertz again this year. Within 5 minutes, the pre-booked forms have been signed, car collected and we're ready to leave the Airport. Just a few minutes to set up the TomTom - I know the way after all these years but it is reassuring to hear and see the route confirmed.Most car rentals offer SatNav but we are lucky to have a UK and US version of TomTom so use that instead. After a quick upgrade of vehicle - we get a Mazda CDX SUV that greets you with "Hello" and "Goodbye" when you switch on and off the engine, a check all is well with lights, wipers, breaks etc and we're off. Before long we are on the interstate heading south - I want to get over the Sunshine Parkway bridge before dusk.
