these are a few of the websites i found most helpful when we first started driving between nj and fl.

leaving from the jersey shore on a saturday at 8 a.m.ish with a stop for dunkin donuts when starting out, fuel at the maryland house, a pit stop at the va welcome center, fuel and burger king just over the nc border and an hour stop to shop at jr's in smithfield, nc we usually make it to florence, sc in 8 to 9 hrs - depending on traffic [which is way better on a sat!].

it leaves us about a 6 hr drive on sunday [with a late 9 a.m.ish start and either a leisurely breakfast stop at shoney's in manning, sc or a lunch stop at pelican point in some town in ga and a rest room/fuel stop in waldo, fl. and that is via the florida travel route of 295 to 10 to 301 with its well advertised speed traps in waldo and lawtey - and the ever changing speed limits - and sunday traffic from ocala to the villages!

i can't wait to do it again - but, alas- must wait til january. oh, wee, we have foliage season inmaine to look forward to in the mean time!
