We stay about 2/3 of the way down the island of Okaloosa off of Santa Rosa Boulevard, so have to backtrack back to Miracle Strip Parkway, in order to get to the closest Publix off of 98. It takes longer than a minute and a half to go from the Tom Thumb on Santa Rosa, and our unit is past the Tom Thumb. Maybe we go at a busy time of year, but it takes several minutes, at least 5 just to get to the bridge on Miracle Strip.
I’m not that familiar with what’s west of Ft. Walton, just slightly.
Ok, I could see that happening in peak season. I’d rather sit in traffic to get to Publix than settle for Tom Thumb or Piggly Wiggly or especially Winn-Dixie.
