Sick of Being Jacksonville? Escape to St. Augustine in Style (or Not-So-Stylish)
Let's face it, Jacksonville. You're alright. But sometimes, a man (or woman, or non-binary friend) just needs a vacation from the city life. That's where St. Augustine comes in, a charming little time capsule of a town where history whispers on the breeze and the streets are paved with...well, probably asphalt, but let's pretend they're cobblestones for dramatic effect.
But here's the thing. How do you get there? Fear not, intrepid traveler! This guide will have you navigating from Jax to St. Augustine smoother than a pirate ship on a flat sea (after they've looted a rum shipment, of course).
Car: The Classic Choice
Let's be honest, this is probably what most folks will do. It's a straight shot down I-95, the soundtrack of your choice blaring through the speakers (may I recommend sea shanties for full immersion?).
Pro Tip: Don't forget the sunscreen! Florida sun is no joke, and nobody wants to look like a lobster on their St. Augustine getaway.
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
Bus: The Budget-Friendly Option
Feeling thrifty? The bus is your friend! Kick back, relax, and avoid the traffic woes. Just be prepared to become a temporary cast member on a real-life sitcom filled with interesting characters (hopefully none that sing karaoke).
Word to the Wise: Pack some snacks. Bus rides can be an adventure, and "adventure hunger" is a very real thing.
Taxi: The High Rollin' Ride
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
Feeling fancy? Splurge on a taxi! It's the most direct route and perfect if you're traveling with a group or have limited mobility. Just be prepared to potentially spend more than a pirate spends on a night of merriment (minus the rum, hopefully for the driver's sake).
Hitchhiking: Not Recommended (But We Admire Your Spirit!)
Look, we all love a good adventure, but hitching is generally not the safest option. Unless you manage to snag a ride with a time-traveling Ponce de Leon himself, this is a method best left to the history books (or maybe movies with questionable plot choices).
