If you can drive very early morning or late evenings you can avoid alot of commuter and active construction on the direct routes: 95 most of the way. . .
As a friend of mine with whom I have worked in the same company on and off, "after you retire / move to the Villages, you find out that waiting this long was not worth it, and that most people have more money than they thought they had."
And if you find its not for you, the location or the house, there are plenty of others being built or available for sale

I did the drive last March. I went through Hartford out to Scranton, Pa and then south 81 to 75. I wanted to avoid NY City, Baltimore + DC. I'll never drive 95 again.
The only problem is Atlanta. Not many places where you can hear Siri tell you to "Stay in the left 7 lanes". Plan for extra time to get through/around Atlanta.
