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.

I also went to Deland. I used it as an opportunity to visit Essex House Seafood in Astor on my way home. Essex House is owned and operated by a couple from Massachusetts. A brother of the wife owns one in Essex, MA. Fresh seafood is sent down daily.
For me, being from Massachusetts, it's like a little slice of home in Florida.
If you like fried whole belly clams or lobster or any other kind of seafood, it's the place to go.
The process at Publix was very efficient by the way.
