Okay ... I have an even better idea! Gainesville (with Delta) has a 6:00 a.m. flight to Atlanta every morning that sets up perfectly for the follow-up flight to St. Maarten. About a 2-1/2 hour layover each way. Plus, you won't have to deal with Orlando traffic. Gainesville Regional Airport would be roughly an hour and 15 minutes from The Villages right up 75. Just checked this out on Kayak and if you fly mid-week it will run $600 per person. Better than taking a bus all the way to Miami!
