If you have an extra hour, from Akron, to Columbus, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Atlanta, The Villages. Or from Charlotte, take I-85 to Atlanta, then I-75 to here.
One nice shortcut from I-95 is to take Highway 200 just after you cross into Florida on I-95. Highway 200 is four lane, fast, and nearly deserted. It will lead you to Highway 301, which will take you right to The Villages. You don’t have to go around Jacksonville that way.
