Narrative:

Event occurred when being cleared from the GA ramp to runway 34 at dab. Ground cleared us to runway 34 as follows, 'taxi runway 34 via txwys south and east, expect taxiway E2 departure.' due to our incorrect assumption that intersection taxiway E2 was south of runway 25L, we crossed runway 25L and we were asked to contact daytona tower upon completion of the flight. I spoke to the tower chief at daytona international and confessed my mistake. No personal information was taken nor requested. I believe contributing factors to this missed clearance was our unfamiliarity with this area of the airport and the ground controller's clearance, 'taxi runway 34 via txwys south and east,' did not specify which direction he wanted us to turn on taxiway east.
