Steve’s take

Yes, it's technically 'off route.' Yes, it adds two hours. Yes, your spouse will remind you of this. But when your six-year-old sees a whale shark for the first time and their jaw drops open like a cartoon character? That's the vacation. That's the whole thing right there. Book tickets online in advance — the line without them is longer than I-75 through Atlanta.
