Jon,
You're right. It is the Beeline Highway; straight to the coast.

   That's the "Beeline", isn't it? (I used to spend 1-2 weeks
per year in Cocoa Beach; we'd fly in to Orlando, get on the
Beeline, and head straight east to the beach.) :-) (I think it
was about an hour's drive or so, but I could be mistaken.) I haven't
been to Florida for a few years though; too bad, its got a really
great climate! (In the winter at least, which is the only time I've
ever been down there.) You've just gotta remember to watch for scorpions
in the grass and stay away from those nasty "sulfur water" runoff
grates. :-)

  If you like waves, go to the Atlantic; the gulf side is a bit
more tame. I've always wanted to rent a jet-ski and go play
in the surf, but I never got around to it. :-)

  Have fun, Randy! I'll be thinkin' about that nice warm weather
while I'm freezing my butt off at the auto show! :-)
