First time making this drive. I planned overnight in Fayetteville, NC on the way down. We left 9am Saturday, and got stuck in traffic starting after passing Baltimore. DC to Richmond was miserable. Even on Sunday from Fayetteville to HHI we had stop and go traffic. Overall, the 12 hour driving trip took 15 hours (not factoring breaks/overnight stay). The traffic resulted in an extra three hours of driving. On way back, I tried to avoid the traffic. I left Sunday morning at 4am. We encountered a bit of traffic around DC and some stop and go in Maryland and Delaware. I got back home at 6pm. The trip back took 14 hours with 12 of driving and 2 hours for 3 stops for bathroom and lunch. I would leave early in the future. I might even try to NYC to Orlando one day.
