New Years Day travel

New to RVing was wondering is New Year’s Day (tomorrow) a good day to tow 5th wheel down I-95 to southern FL or should I wait until the 2nd to avoid traffic.
  • Some folks may be off work or sleeping in late so could be quiet on the roads...
  • From Va south, at least into Ga, I would think it will be just another day. Fl could get a little busier due to the higher numbers of Grandparent visitors going home.
  • The 1st would be a good day to travel. I'd avoid Sat and Sun tho.
  • FWIW we just drove thru Phoenix AZ this morning at 8:00am, which is peak crazy time for that city. Being today is NY's Eve the I-10 and I-17 were flowing beautifully with none of the usual stop-and-go traffic. I can assume all roads will be like this today and tomorrow around the country as most folks aren't going to work.
