Just a small word of warning for those thinking of going to MacDill to shop. If you haven't been there lately, the BX/Commissory parking lot is a zoo. Even mid-week, mid-month you may drive around for hours trying to find a spot to park. The problem is new construction across the street at Southern Command (??) closed all their parking areas (temporarily, I hope) so all those folks are using the BX/Commissory lot for parking.

Temporarily, I have switched to Partrick AFC on the Atlantic side. Commissory and BX just a nice, maybe nicer, than MacDill. The ride is almost the same (maybe a little longer) but there are lots of tolls - get a SunPass or something like that for the tolls.
