Driving to Orlando from SW Pa...need advice.

[Pooh99]

From my calculations, it will take me about 18 hours. I would like to make reservations for about 12-13 into it and then drive the remaining 5-6 on the following day. Can anyone tell me where I will end up if I am about 5-6 hours outside of Orlando? I will be taking 77 south, I26 and catching up with I-95.

Thanks.

My DH is from SW PA, he says it is much faster to go I 75S
If you take 75 it takes about 12-14 hrs to get to Atl depending on stops, traffic and how fast you drive. From Atl to Orlando it takes 6-8 hrs.

depending on traffic: you should be close to the SC/Ga border
Go to mapquest.com and enter route planner info and it will give you a time estimate from start to ?(try hardeeville, SC)

I agree. I'm from Pittsburgh and have driven to Orlando numerous times, taking various routes. I 75 was the best way to go IMO.

And where in florida does it bring me to in Fla?

OOPS!
Went back and checked my old -- very old -- notes, as it's been quite a while since I've driven to Florida.
I77 is the way to go! Sorry, but I75 sounded so right when I saw it. (I keep telling DH the more babies I have, the less brain cells.)

I went 79S to 19S (in WV) to 77S to 26E to 95S...
...sounds like what you're planning, yes?

I've also gone70E to 270 (around DC area) to 95 --- a nightmare!
Along with a couple of other ways recommended by others that I would never use again.

By the way...
...sounds like you will need to go very near my house...
...if you let me know what time, I'll be packed and ready to go!

Thanks for checking...I couldn't imagine where I picked up I75 at??? Anyhow, I am SOUTH of Pittsburgh..but if you were in the driveway when we left, I would surely take you along!

I actually live very near the WV border (south of Uniontown, if you know where that is). I always say Pittsburgh because most people know where it is.

(The way my DS was behaving today, I'm VERY tempted to be in your driveway! LOL)
