My wife and me finally got in this morning after our fifth morning of trying. We first tried Marion, after I selected Mulberry it was taken, then I tried Ocala and it was taken, by then Citrus which is Inverness was gone, and Hernando which is Brooksville was gone. I finally got us both appointments in Deland, which is in Volusia County. They had 2100 available when they began, so they lasted awhile.

Deland is about 60 miles via 25, to 42 to 44 and just over an hour. We have different days, my wife goes next Tuesday and I go next Thursday and they two different Publix stores about five miles apart. I might take I-4 south to the 408 to the Turnpike coming back when my wife goes, because her appointment is at 4:30 and I don't like driving through woods on 42 at night because of bears and deer inhabit those areas.
