    Lazy Canuck! Here ya go:<br /><br />Welcome To Garner's Landing<br />Driving and flying directions.<br />Garner's Landing is a private seaplane base and can be found on VFR terminal aeronautical charts<br />for the Tampa/Orlando area. The identifier is 1FL 0.<br />Garner's Landing is located at N28:06.600 W081:48.8000. in the Northwest corner of Lake Arietta,<br />at 817 Arietta Drive, Auburndale, Florida. our phone is 863-968-9898.<br />Lake Arietta is over one mile across and has lakefront homes on the West, East, and South ends. <br />The north end is cow pasture. Depending on the wind direction we would ask that you refrain from<br />making approaches over homes and/or boaters, although the boating is usually light.<br />We will be monitoring air to air frequency 123.375 and 122.7 for (GIF-Winter Haven Airport)<br />during the Gathering. There is a wind sock located lakeside.<br />Garner's Landing is located<br />The I-4 runs between Orlando and Tampa. From the I-4 take exit 44 (old exit 21) south, this is State<br />Road 559 or (Polk City Rd). Go approximately 3.6 miles and turn right onto Gapway Rd. Go 11/2<br />miles (at about the 11/4 mile marker on Gapway Rd. if you look to your left you can see Garner=s<br />Landing across the cow pasture. It's the big gray house on the lake) to the stop sign and turn left<br />onto Berkley Rd. which is State Rd. 655 going south. Go one quarter mile and turn left onto Arietta<br />Boulevard. This is a short street.<br />At the stop sign turn right onto Eugena Drive another short street and a left onto Anderson Drive,<br />which at the next corner turns into Arietta Drive as you turn left. Our house is at the next corner<br />which is the corner of Arietta Drive and Grimes Drive.<br />From Winter Haven Airport turn left out of the airport, which is 21 Street N. W. This winds around<br />to Highway 92. Turn left onto Hwy 92. Go 4.2 miles. Turn right onto Berkley Rd. which is State Rd.<br />655 going north. Go 3.7 miles and then turn right onto Arietta Blvd. This is a short street. At the stop<br />sign turn right onto Eugena Drive another short street and a left onto Anderson Drive which at the<br />next corner turns into Arietta Drive as you turn left. Our house is at the next corner which is the<br />corner of Arietta Drive and Grimes Drive.<br />Most of the motels in the area are located in Winter Haven on Highway 17. There is a new Super<br />8 Motel located about 3/4 of a mile East of the Winter Haven Airport, as the crow flies, but you<br />wouldn't want to try walking to it. The Super 8 is located at 2275 8th St. and Highway 17 NW. The<br />phone number is 863- 401-8211.<br />The other three motels we would recommend are the Holiday Inn. of Winter Haven, at 1150 3rd St<br />SW which is Hwy 17. The phone number is 863 294 4451.

Please park so that our neighbors can get out of<br />their driveways. We will have signs and red cones out in the places that we can park cars on Arietta<br />Drive. and Grimes Drive.<br />

Dave Lima - Mar 22,2008   Viewers  | Reply
    Russ, we always land in Orlando, I find it a great airport to get in and out of. Pick up the rental car and start driving.

    Hey Dave, I haven't spent a lot of time in Tampa <br />since we moved out from Calif ten years ago. <br />But I have been along the beach where your <br />staying and you’ll Like it. <br />There are a lot of shops and restaurants in<br />the area. Ybor City and Bushgardens are the <br />two big attractions in Tampa I guess..<br /><a href="http://www.buschgardens.com/BGT/default.aspx">http://www.buschgardens.com/BGT/default.aspx</a><br /><a href="Http://www.centroybor.com/">Http://www.centroybor.com/</a> Ybor City is right off<br />the I-4 as you get into Tampa you can’t miss it<br />there’s a big water tower along I-4 with a sign<br />saying YBOR the tower belongs to a micro beer<br />brewery you can tour and taste. Ybor has become<br />Tamps night spot with lots of restaurants, shop and <br />bars all within about three blocks.<br />Are you planing on heading right over to Tampa?<br />We are about 2 miles South of the I-4, at exit 44<br />that's the off ramp for Fantasy of Flight, it's half way<br />between MCO and Tampa and about 45 min. from MCO. <br />Depending on the time you get in, if you guys aren't<br />to tired and have time you could come by on the <br />way to Tampa, we're less than 10 min. from exit 44. <br />We’d love to meet you guys.

    Thanks for the invite and the info Russ, we get in later on Tuesday evening and will have about a 2 hour drive to Clearwater, however we are definately coming over to your fly-in on Sunday. All I need to do is look outside and not see snow and I'll be happy! What to you want us to bring on Sunday?

    Dave,<br />If you go to Busch Gardens (reccommended), then make a point to go to nearby (+/- 2 miles) Mel's diner. I don't even like hot dogs, but they have the BEST Chicago dog I've ever tasted.

    The sponge docks have great boat tours including bald eagles and dolphins and sponge divers. The Greek resturants at the sponge docks are authentic and good food.
