The Fastest Driving Route to Florida

Have you ever wondered what the fastest driving route to Florida is? Well, if you live in the northeastern United States or in the Canadian province of Ontario, read on! After many years of exploring the major north-south routes (and driving my wife crazy with noting travel times between varied locations) we have determined that the following route gets you to Florida sunshine the fastest.

1/ If you are crossing the Canada/Us border or live in northern Ohio or New York, Interstate #90 provides the best connection to Interstate #79, your first north-south highway on the Fastest Route to Florida. (Remember that I-90 in most of New York State is a toll route)

2/ Take I-90 to Erie Pennsylvania to join together with I-79.

3/ supervene I-79 south straight through the rolling hills of northern Pennsylvania. One caution, keep watch for deer, I have never seen so many deer (dead or alive) along one stretch of road in any place else in North America.

4/ There are not many industrial assistance areas between Erie and Pittsburgh, but there are some clean rest stop areas (about every twenty minutes).

5/ Washington Pennsylvania, just south of Pittsburgh, offers some good accommodation, dining and shopping venues.

6/ I-70 connects with I-79 at Washington, so if you live along the I-70 corridor you can honestly join together with the fastest route to Florida.

7/ lasting southward, it is not long before you enter the State of West Virginia. If you are a college football fan, the University of West Virginia football stadium can be seen in the distance to the east as you pass straight through Morgantown.

8/ As you coming Charleston, I-79 ends and you join together with I-77. (You could take I-77 all the way from I-90, just face of Cleveland, Ohio, but we like the landscape of I-79 and it is a faster route.)

9/ Your route takes you right straight through Charleston, and although we have never spent much time in the area, the mix of southern architecture and modern structures provides for attractive scenery.

10/ Leaving Charleston, the mountains and valleys seem to engulf you as you make your way towards your destination, Englewood Florida.

11/ About an hour after leaving Charleston, you will reach Beckley. This town is known for its coal mining (if time is ready check out the coal mining museum.) At each of the exits in the Beckley area you will find accommodations, food and fuel facilely available.

12/ If you enjoy large scenery, the next merge of hours will pleasure you! I-77 twists and turns straight through the mountains of West Virginia, then as you pass straight through a tunnel the panorama of the mountains of the State of Virginia honestly explodes straight through your windshield as you exit from the tunnel.

13/ After passing straight through Wytheville with its numerous venues for food, fuel and accommodation, you will soon be in North Carolina.

14/ The State of North Carolina makes an equally dramatic entrance. As you pass by an exit announcing Fancy Gap, the highway begins a decent down the mountains. The view is splendid but the numerous run-away truck ramps serve as an ominous warning that the steepness of the hill can cause trucks to have problem stopping.

15/ At the bottom of the hill, a gorgeous rest area provides a great picnic location, or just a spot to take a leisurely ramble surrounded by the well-manicured gardens.

16/ I-77 continues on straight through Charlotte, North Carolina and on to Columbia, South Carolina. One of our beloved moments occurs as we enter the South Carolina Welcome Center. At the entrance we see our first palm tree, evidence that Florida and Englewood are not far away.

17/ A short distance from Columbia we join together with I-95 and continue southward, passing Savannah and then Brunswick until we reach the Florida Welcome Center.

18/ A few minutes south of Jacksonville is one of my beloved stops along the World Golf Village. Besides the great golf atmosphere at the shops and restaurants in the village, there is the World Golf Hall of Fame. Believe me, it is worth the visit!

19/ lasting down I-95, we arrive at Daytona (try not to travel straight through this area colse to the time of any racing event, especially the Daytona 500, the traffic is crazy. But if you are a car racing fan, go for it!), where we join together with I-4.

20/ I-4 goes straight through Orlando (try to avoid weekday rush hours). You might want to plan a few days at any of the major theme parks in the area.

21/ Just east of Tampa take I-75 southbound.

22/ About an hour later, take the River Road exit and in 10-15 minutes you will be in Englewood Florida.

Let Your Winter Vacation Begin! You can now truly forget about the cold weather and snow and just Enjoy Englewood Florida!
