When arriving in Jacksonville AMTRAK STATION take the M4 Bus to Downtown (Rosa Parks Station) (buses every 30 minutes, 45 minutes travel time). Transfer to the L7 Bus and get off at the Avenues Mall (1 hour travel time). From the Avenues Mall, take the Sunshine Bus ($1). Ask the driver to let you off at US1 and King Street. From King street, you pass the ABC liquors store and head into town, take a left on Charlotte and we're about a block in. If you have a lot of luggage try giving us a call at 904-808-1999, we may be able to pick you up. Otherwise, after you cross a small bridge, take a left onto Malaga Street. There are usually cabs parked there near the Diner and they can take you the 300 meters to the Pirate Haus.
The Southbound trains arrive at approx 7AM and 10AM. The early Northbound train arrives at 3PM (The late Northbound train arrives at 9PM, and I don't think most people would want to stay overnight in Palatka.) Wait for the Ride Solution van at 5PM. This will take you to the St. Augustine Kmart, travel time approximately 1 hour though I do think they make a stop at the Visitor Information Center in town. From Kmart call the Pirate Haus at 904-808-1999, we MAY be able to pick you up, if not you'll have to take a cab 827-9273 for about ($6-7).Depending on what time you arrive in Palatka, you may have some waiting to do. You can cross the main street into town and get a bite to eat, shop at the thrift stores, or head over to River City Gun range and rent a .45 caliber handgun and shoot some targets ($20/hour plus pistol rental and ammo)
From the Jacksonville Int'l Airport (JAX)
