Road Trip

A question about : Road Trip

1279 miles according to google maps. Suppose I do around 400 miles a day, what suggestions for route, what to see, where to stay en route?

Best answers:

• Take your time, there's loads to see. It all really depends what you like, Everglades before you leave southern Florida, Cape Canaveral, Daytona Beach, Blue Ridge Parkway, Biltmore House, Colonial Williamsburg, Washington DC, Arlington Cemetery. Personally I'd not go to New York having been there once.
• You're not going to see much if you do 400 miles a day - I suggest more time or a shorter trip! I try to average no more than 200 miles a day on a road trip, preferably less.
• My thought was 6 hours at 70mph. Leaving 18 hours a day for seeing, eating and sleeping.
  The trip is fixed, I could take longer to get there if needed.
• Average 70mph.
  No hope.

• I doubt he'd average 70 on the I95, it's not like driving in the mid-west, there other people about. He won't see any sights either. We took a fortnight to drive from Washington to Miami & could've made it much longer.
• I-95 is probably the fastest route, even with all its congestion once you get further north. However, it's probably also the most boring route.
  If you can make time - and I mean a week or more - then the combination of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Tennessee and North Carolina), the Blue Ridge Parkway (North Carolina and Virginia) and Shenandoah National Park (Virginia) will give you well over 500 miles of wonderful scenery and interesting historical sites along the spine of the Appalachian Mountains. You don't have do it all, you can branch off at numerous intersections to do the rest of the journey on the flatter and faster roads to the east of the mountains.
  If you haven't got time for any of that, then do try to escape from the interstates a bit so as to see something more interesting.
