Re: Travel advice
Just out of curiosity (and to make sure I wasn't just being a little bitch) I used my fav program to map the route. From Hartford to Columbia SC:
- via I-95 across the GWB (shortest route), I-95 to Richmond, I-85 to Charlotte, then I-77 to Columbia, 819.51 miles.
- via I-84 to Wilkes-Barre, I-81 south to I-77 to Columbia, 878.00 miles.
60 miles longer, and any route other than I-95 and the GWb decreases that difference. But, mucho less traffic and ~$25 EACH WAY less in tolls through the DC/Baltimore area. And, all it's gonna take is one 30-minute, 30 mph traffic jam in NYC (which you ARE going to get) to make it even in time. Plus wider open highways, less traffic (the I-95 corridor really sucks) more truck stops for "Stuff". And you don't have to drive through Jersey.
An easy call for me. Especially the Jersey part.
I'm done, no more nagging. - GA |
