My trip begins.

I was going to leave at 4 am but I think fog might be an issue with the cold rains.

1st stop, Richmond VA, If I got the gas I may go farther, but I definately want a full tank b4 North Carolina, since it is more per gallon in the Peoples Republic of North Carolina.

I am back already. 890 miles one way. Made the trip back in 12 hours, that means average speed of 74.16 mph. Oops!

Until I hit Virginia on the way back, I was forced to either go 70mph in the slow lane or go over 80 mph in the fast lane. Which did I do?

On the way down it was similar, but It took 3.5 hours longer due to neck bending blocks caused by the occasional ticket or breakdown. Average speed on the way down was 57.41 mph.

The worst traffic in the world has to be Orlando Florida, no matter what NYNY, LA,or Washington DC say about it. :notnice:

Glad you made it back "safe & sound". Guess we need to thank you for this great weather you brought back with you - need to take a ride, I'm a quart low on "cruising"

i'm from Orlando, and you just need to know the shortcuts to get around the traffic, and live by one rule, stay away from I4

Next time I bypass Orlando completely by taking 301 at the FLA/GA border.
