Merry Christmas

We are ex-New Yorkers. I tend to think in about that numbers but the drive from NY to Florida is roughly 24 hours straight drive. My wife does not drive so I drove all of it.
On the 23rd, you will hit Holiday Traffic. Between the tolls, gas, wear and tear on your car and wear and tear on the driver, flying may well be cheaper. Reminder at least one hotel stop, meals etc. You can likely get one of the thrifty car rentals while you are here.
DC traffic? If, you decide to drive, an ex-New Yorker says, New York traffic at 8am is at least as bad as DC at 11 am.
