I have done it both ways, spend the night and drive straight through. My trip is a little long for straight through, but sometimes it works out that we do it. Do it based on traffic, how tired I get, etc. I usually use Hampton Inns as there seems to be one about every 75 miles down 95. We split the driving and change drivers about every 2 to 3 hours. Comes quick when starting out, but if you do it, you can go for a long time. Don't drive 3 hours and say I am not tired yet so I will go another hour. If you do you can't continue the trip for as long. I will drive until around 10:30 PM and then look for a place using a list of the Hampton Inn's and their phone number I got from the web.
Drove down last Saturday. Left at noon, got here at 1:00 AM on Sunday. Usually takes 14 hours, but for some reason made it in 13. Again, made that decision to keep going someplace in SC.
