Having lived in Ormond Beach prior to moving to The Villages and having made the trip a "few" times, I recommend:

I-95 to Rt-40 in Ormond Beach (don't remember exit number)

Stay on 40 West until you pass over the St. John’s River at Aster

About a 1 – 2 miles past Aster go left onto 445A toward Alexander Springs

Take 445A about ˝ mile & turn left onto 445

Stay on 445 (through National Forest) until it dead-ends at 19

Turn left onto 19 and go about 5 miles to light at SR-42

Turn right onto 42 until you get to 441/27 (take about ˝ hour)

Depending where you're going in The Villages:

You can turn left onto 441/27 and after couple of miles you'll see The Villages---can't miss it.

OR:

Cross 441/27 and stay on 42 until Buena Vista Blvd (about the third stop light)

Turn left onto Buena Vista Blvd. and start having the fun of your life in The Villages.

Chels has a talking GPS named Ruby. You ask Ruby for directions and she instructs you what roads to take. Ruby gets angry if you ignore her directions! Seriously. Ruby told us to take one route to get to Cassadaga and a different route to get back home. How weird is that? Useful little gadget, that Ruby, but tempermental and inclined to be bossy.

She does. But it's OK as she doesn't believe a word I say.

You turn off I-95 directly onto Rt-40. Go off I-95 to the right and you'll be going West on Rt-40.

Have a safe trip!
