Looking for a good place to meet my cousin from Boca. We are looking for someplace half way in between there and The Villages. Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Two weeks ago, my wife's aunt was in Lake Worth (near Boca) and we met her daughter at the FL Turnpike service area - Fort Drum Mile marker 184. This is about as close to halfway from the Villages as I could plan. We had something to eat at this very nice service area and then we turned around and came back. It is about 2hrs and 15min. each way.

Very good idea.

If you belong to AAA, I would go to them, and get a list of restaurants, that is exactly halfway and has tourists stops. They could recommend, where to meet, for a little more upscale dining experience but that's just me.

I don't think you need to drive 2 1/2 hours to be halfway. I little less than 2 hours sounds more like it to me, but then I don't drive fast, "I just half to be first".
