Wyne,
Like Tpop, we have also made the trip south from Conn many times. If you want to take 95 - his route is the best. We try to avoid 95 so our route is:
Take the Tappan Zee to 287 and then pick up Route 78 West.
Take 78 until it intersects with Route 81 (just before Harrisburg, PA).
Take 81 South until you reach N. Carolina and it intersects with Route 77 (outside of Charlotte).
Take 77 South until you hit Route 85 (near the SC/NC border)
Take 85 south till you reach the Atlanta bypass (285) and then take 285 west until it joins with route 75 just south of the city.
Take 75 south to TV.
With this route the only city you need to deal with is Atlanta - and I would try to go through there between 10 am and 2 pm or after 8 at night.
Your gps and AAA will tell you it is longer by <60 minutes - but it can save hours in traffic delays. It is also a beautiful and FAR less-stressful route....
