From Maine I95 to I495 (MA) to I84 to I81 (PA) to I77 to I26 to I95 in SC. I do this every time and eliminate all the traffic and confusion, very nice easy drive. Also no tunnels and only a small toll on the Mass Pike, even the bridge in Newburg is free going south.
This route would also be my top suggestion. Depending where you're going in Florida, it can also be reasonable to alter the southern portion to go from I-81 to I-40 to I-75. For most areas that's a little bit longer alternative.
Attempting to go down I-95 is theoretically shorter, but all the major cities (Boston, NYC, and Baltimore / DC in particular) conspire to make it a far less pleasant drive and typically no quicker than I-81.
