Another driving to Florida question

What time do you leave? I know it's a nightmare getting through the DC area if you leave at the wrong time. TIA

Re: Another driving to Florida question

I've never driven straight through to Florida, but have driven to SC and GA several times. We would usually leave between 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. That way, we would (usually) beat the traffic on both the Jersey Tpke and around DC.

What time did you arrive in SC? We are planning on stopping there on the way down.

If we left around 3 a.m. we usually got to the SC state line between 3 p.m. & 5 p.m. But, we would also usually make several stops and would always stop for a sit down for breakfast
