Driving to Florida?
 
Anyone driving from New York Metro-area (preferably Long Island) to The Villages between now and mid-June willing to loan us their back seat for a few boxes? Compensation, of course, provided. Please PM me. Thank you

My first though is what might be in those boxes and my second would be that most traveling from the north to Florida will have a pretty full vehicle.

FedEx depending on size of box and weight, starting at $25 for 24 pounds for us

OP, you might want to look into Amtrak passenger service this will get you to Sanford, about an hour and 15 minutes away, possibly to Wildwood, which is much closer.

Nope, that's why my first thought was "what's in those boxes"

Somebody is watching too many crime shows on TV. No drug dealer is going to send product in boxes in the back of someone's car without knowing them.

Besides, drugs go from south to north, not the reverse.

LOL Ok, you didn't mean drugs, maybe a couple boxes of Uzis or radioactive cesium? Obvious your first thought was something illegal and "smuggled"

Enjoy CSI, but smugglers are not going to post this type of inquiry on an internet forum, its ludicrous.

Ever hear that an idea that's so simplistic it's genius

Not saying this is the case

No, cash goes from north to south. Nothing like boxes full of 100 dollar bills.
