Sid...the most direct is I95 to west on I-10 at Jacksonville (may have to get on a 295 bypass route off of 95 to get to 10). I10 to US301 South....301 to either 441 or 466 depending on your ultimate Villages destination.

The 301 stretch is not fun...lots of speed limit changes and small towns; also, it is notorious for speed traps.

I did the drive from DC to TV in Summer 06....took us about 15 hrs driving time in two days; we have a friend who does it in 13.5 hrs in one day but I wouldn't do that ride with him. To quote handie, too skeery.
