You step off the plane, the humid Atlantic breath of northeast Florida brushing the terminal glass, and find a driver waiting where baggage claim opens into the arrival hall. The black car feels deliberately calm after airport bustle—leather cool beneath your hand, air conditioning set for a slow unwind. The drive south unspools through coastal flatlands: marshes that shoulder the road, salt grass bending like a green tide, and glimpses of gray water where rivers dare the ocean.
