Russ..as a UCONN Huskie fan, I thought BigEast was appropriate. Its important to support our local teams in CT. Ironically I will be taking my youngest daughter to Gainsville for a tour of the U of FL. Does that mean if I become a Villager and she goes there I will have to change my name ? What if I am a snowbird...Then I'm in real trouble ...lol...Any recommendations on driving route down?

Larry,
Go Huskies! (I have that allegiance for basketball, but, as my daughter went to Clemson, I have become a Tiger fan as well - esp football).
Don't know where you are up there - but we have been making this trip so often I thought I would add my two cents...
This route is precipitated on the key trafficky areas being in NYC/NJ and Baltimore/DC. While a 95 route
looks shorter - it can be much longer if you get hung up in traffic and is far more stressful to drive,
We were in Branford, CT so took 95 to the Merritt Parkway and then to 287 over the Tappan Zee Bridge. Stay on 287 to avoid the tolls in NJ and take it to Route 80.
Stay on 80 through PA to near Harrisburg. From there take 81 south through VA and NC to Charlotte. In Charlotte take 77 south that will take you through SC.
This will get you to 95. Stay on 95 to near Jax - and then take 301 to TV.

PM if you want to talk this through...
