Yes...Hwy 56 Exit at Mile Marker 275 is an all 4 lane (2 each way) Blvd.

You will be on this road ( 56/54 ) for 10 miles. 15 minutes

You will then go South on Suncoast (589) / Veterans..
you will be on Suncoast/Veterans (589) for 18 miles. 22 minutes.

You will use EXIT 1A and follow signs to Airport . About 6 minutes you will
be picking up/ dropping off your guests.

When leaving to come back to Villages.....
......Head out on George Bean Parkway ( the main loop road around )

Take the "Florida 589 Toll North/Veterans Expy" Ramp
.......................................to the "Florida 60 West/ Clearwater"....

Keep RIGHT at the Fork and follow signs for ..
..."Florida Toll N./Veterans Expressway" ......
...............AND ..............Merge onto "FL 589 Toll N."

..It is so easy that even I can do it- without getting any single finger waves.

Happy Travels.
