Has anyone ever driven NY to Orlando

[JulieB01]

Hi

As the title suggests, is this even doable?
And how long would you reckon it would take, not constant driving 24hrs obviously.
There will be 2 drivers so we could share it
And any suggestions of stops along the way

Part of the planning for DD 18th next July, she wants to spend time in NY as well as our home

Its over 1000 miles, so you'll looking at a minimum of two days.

Did this a long time ago, 1983 I think. We took about a week over the trip. two nights in New York, then to Washington for a couple of nights followed by taking the scenic drive south down the blue ridge mountains. We stopped in Chattanooga, Charleston and Savannah before reaching Florida. It was a memorable trip and a great way to see some of the east coast. You could do it in much less time but it would be more of an endurance test than a holiday. Hard to believe it was nearly forty years ago but great memories.

Couldn't see it being the most scenic of road trips. 8 or 9 hours driving a day for 2 days would do it. I'd go via Delaware just to go under the Chesapeake Bay bridge / tunnel.

Yes only once. It’s an easy drive

My neighbor does it every couple of months 😑

We did it in 1989 from orlando to Maine ,we left orlando sunday 0900 drove till about 6pm then same next day, arrived at my cousins near Portland tuesday tea time. We only stopped to eat and sleep and it took about 27 hours of driving . I 95 all the way...very boring unless to take time to leave the interstate

DH and his friend in 1974, no I95 in those days. Still visit them in Florida these days

Very doable. Stop somewhere in South Carolina.

I’ve looked at this but with children we’d want the rooms which makes it expensive.
