In a 2005 Honda Odyssey. Should be fun, I just took the van out and raced a genesis coupe. Now I know why no one buys them (kidding lol). The V6 screams when vtec kicks in, yo.

Go download the Martian from Audible and put an ear phone in. Good luck and be safe.

I had a 7 hour drive from Miami to Atlanta a few weeks ago and I did it with one ear listening to Red Shirts. It helped the time pass. The reading of the Martian is amazingballs!

we drove from DC (where my sister in law lives) then drove to myrtle beach and Charleston on our way down to a Disney world vacation. I don't know the east coast too well, I flew into DC from Utah.

I was already planning on bringing a book to read (predicted to thunderstorm Monday night, so I'll find a place with a nice view and read). Ghost plane: the true story about the CIA torture and rendition program by Stephen gray is a little bit of an oldie but its a great read.

Easy trip, one day drive. Enjoy, except that you'll be in with all the holiday southbound traffic!!! Watch out for the NY NJ and CT plates. The NH and MA plates won't bother you too much!

DC to Miami without traffic should be about 14 hours or so. I've done Boston to Ft Myers many times and it can be done in 24, and DC is about 10 from us...

thanks, I was shooting for around 12 but 14 is doable.

I've spent enough time up in the NY area to know to avoid NJ plates haha! Thanks for the heads up, should be a nice journey hopefully without too much traffic.

12 is possible but I think you'll see heavier than normal traffic. Good luck!!
