    "For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only!" (Part V)

    We live in central NJ and find that Savannah is a great place to stop. It's about 12 hours. I want to say we stop off of Exit 8. There are tons of hotels & restaurants.

    So excited, just gotta share!

    Booked my 1st solo trip for October and I'm terrified but definitely see it as my "solo sanity trip" too! Had a very rough year with skin cancer surgery (on my nose of all places), my mom passed away in March and my only Uncle passed away 3 weeks after that. Heading to WDW with DH & DD in...

    Driving from Central Jersey to WDW...help me pick a route please.

    We are from Mercer County and take 95 all the way down with some deviation using the Waze app when we hit traffic in MD/DC/VA. It's 12 hours to Savannah and we love staying there overnight because depending on where you stay it's a short drive to the riverfront area. Great for walking around...

    Any recommended gatlinburg area cabin rentals you have used?

    We've stayed at Elk Springs Resort 5 times. They're main cabin area is in the Arts & Crafts area in Gatlinburg. We love the location. We've always stayed in a different cabinet depending on our group size, whether we were bringing our dogs, etc. Cabins are VERY clean and if something does go...

    "For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only!" (Part V)

    We left WDW on our most recent trip in November at 5:45am on a Saturday and arrived home in central NJ (Mercer County) at 10:45pm. Didn't really plan on driving straight through, but we had such an easy drive, we just kept going!

    Help! Damaged Dooney purse

    Hoping I have better luck than you with exchanging a bag. I bought the D&B Haunted Mansion tote while on Main Street on 11/6. Didn't use the bag while we were down there. After getting home I used the bag a few days and noticed that it's REALLY hard to unzip, but closes no problem. Rather...

    Hey, How's the weather down there?

    Ok, so jeans and a t-shirt kind of weather or shorts and a t-shirt? I'm trying to pack and having the hardest time! It looks like its going to cool off in the next few days. We arrive on Sunday. Melanie

    I-95: Is Maryland/Virginia still a traffic nightmare?

    Yes, we did hit that area on a Saturday and I think we left NJ at 5am so we were in that area probably around 9-10am. My father in law drives for a living and he's even said that the traffic in that area is worse than usual. He ended up taking I-81 back home last time. I'm thinking we're...

    I-95: Is Maryland/Virginia still a traffic nightmare?

    Yikes. Sounds like things haven't improved. I would also prefer to keep moving instead of sitting in traffic, even if it means adding an hour or two. I've also been looking into going Route 1 and 13 in Delaware and going over the Chesapeake bay bridge. Not sure how much of a nightmare that...

    I-95: Is Maryland/Virginia still a traffic nightmare?

    We drove to & from Hilton Head this summer and I-95 was a complete nightmare both ways in Virginia. It made a 12 hour drive into a 15 hour drive. Is it still a complete mess? We leave for WDW in 2 weeks and are thinking of going PA Turnpike to I-81 and take that to I-26 which eventually...

    Should I solo?

    I don't want to hijack the OP's thread, but while reading this thread, I'm looking at where everyone is from. When travelling solo, has anybody driven a good distance or do most people fly? I'm in NJ and would love to do a solo trip which my DH and DD do not understand. I've been looking...

    Solo trips and making them "different"

    I'm so jealous! I want to try a solo trip and everyone thinks I'm nuts! Your trip sounds awesome. I think a solo trip does make you try different things that you wouldn't ordinarily do (like the movies around WS).
