Agree Nana - traffic is all relative. Prior to living in Colorado, I lived in San Francisco for many years. It could take two hours at times to cross the Bay Bridge from San Francisco to Oakland (a distance of about ten miles). Even at its worst, Florida traffic is nothing compared to California Bay Area or SoCal.
