We are taking the same trip next Friday. We are planning to stop only one night so we can limit virus exposure in hotels. We are also looking to stop in Virgina. We are planing to go the same way you are with the exception of getting off Rt 81 at Rt 78 which will take us to the NY Thruway Rt 287. Then we head to Rt 87N to the Mass Pike. We like to avoid Conn because we always get jammed up there. Question has anyone tried driving on Rt 75N to Rt 10 to 95 rather than 75 to 301 to 95? I know it is longer but 301 is so slow with low speed limits and speed traps. We are planning to leave around 3:30AM so traffic on 75 should be light. Curious to hear what you think,
