A different approach would be to make trip part of enjoyment. Most of us are retired and really do not need to get there in exactly two days. We often incorporate a two-night visit in a place like Charleston. For the balance of the trip, we try to limit our travel such that we are able to be off the road NLT 5PM, and can then enjoy a nice dinner.
I do all I can to avoid the I-95 experience between Richmond and into Connecticut and since my destination is MA' the I-81/I-84 option works well for us.
