Default Re: Driving to TV from Toronto, Ontario, Canada

barefoot,

We leave from Erie, PA.
  • I-79 south, into West Virginia
  • Take U.S. Route 19 toward Summersville
  • Continue to Beckley

This far is about six hours for me, probably nine for you.

Beckley is a nice place to stop anyhow. Many restaurants, and if you have time, especially stop to see Tamarack. A wonderful collection of West Virginia artists, and a super place for breakfast in the morning before you push off to continue south. I love stopping here. The restaurant is run by Greenbriar, a regionally hooty-toot resort where you can spend a lot of money and time. The restaurant at Tamarack is very reasonable, though. And I love the breakfast there.
  • Take I-77 out of Beckley.
  • Take I-77 through Charlotte and Columbia
  • Take I-26 out of the south side of Columbia
  • Take I-26 to I-95
  • Take I-95 to Jacksonville.
  • Get I-295 on north of Jacksonville
  • Go to I-10 West
  • I-10 to Florida Rote 301. (I truly hate 301 because of the varying speeds and speed traps. It is eash to make a mistake because of the numerous change in speed limits.)
    Take 301 to 441 in Ocala and you are within shooting distance of TV.

It is 21 to 23 hours from Toronto. Unless you drive like a Canadian, then the entire trip will take you just under four hours from Toronto. ;D
