Here are some subjects for discussion.
Are gas stations ,rest areas and restaurants open?
Did you overnight in a hotel or sleep in the car?
How was the traffic?
Any issues crossing state borders?
Do you recommend traveling or should we stay in The Villages?
Thank you for your help.
Lot of price gouging at gas stations. Pack a cooler with sandwiches. Very little open except gas station convenience stores. No Starbucks open, not even for drive throughs. You can get a take out from Waffle House, but whats the fun in that. No road check points. Stay away from hotels like Red Roof Inn, where towels have skid marks.
