Spring Break Planning - Florida and Arizona NMF merit

@twoinanddone thank you for that advice about Jacksonville. I haven’t booked the air travel yet so this advice is golden! We will retrace our steps back to Orlando instead, from Gainesville.

So I forgot to mention that side excursions involving any walking are not an option. The campus tours are going to be difficult enough for me! I am suffering greatly, more and more each day, from what apparently is a horrific case of plantar fasciitis picked up last July during DS21’s first football camp. I had no idea it would include a tour of campus - I naively thought I’d be dropping him off at the field for a day of skills and conditioning - and I’d be lounging by the hotel pool all day. So I wore Birkenstocks which were way too hard for the several hours of walking we ended up doing. The next day I felt a stabbing pain in my right heel and thought I’d fractured something since it came on so suddenly. Finally got an X-ray about two months ago and nothing showed up and since then the pain has gotten progressively worse. It hurts most toward the end of the day and least first thing in the morning which is apparently not the norm for pf but that’s how it’s manifesting for me. I’m in pain all day long and it’s spread to most of my foot now, not just the heel. So no walking tours other than gritting my teeth and dealing with the campus ones, sigh.

They will provide a cart at UCF, its a big campus and they really zipped us around !
