A quick n dirty FL Geography lesson. OK The springs
(PLantfest Land)are located south of Gainesville. You
can find them on a map look for the Suwanee River.
Gainesville is a college town based around Univ of FL,
think a "redneck" Eugene,OR. 

Jacksonville (North FL) is about an hour or so east of
Gainesville or about 1 1/2 from the springs.


Disneyworld is Orlando, (Central FL),which is south of
Gainesville by about 2 1/2 hours give or take. Miami
(South FL)is way south east, it is 5-6 hour from
Gainesville. FT Lauderdale is about 20-30 minutes
north of Miami and Palm Beach is about another 30
minutes north. 

The fish farms are all over but the biggest
concentraion is south of Tampa (South West FL) in a
small carney town called Gibsonton.

These drive times were from when I lived there 12+ yrs
ago so things may have changed a little with traffic.

The Gators, Univ of Florida's namesake, well they are
in all of the above. In Miami you can even find the
endangered American Crocodile too.

Larry
