Maritimers driving to Florida
For those Canadian Maritimers that head south in Dec/Jan, where do you over night the first couple nights? Do you stay in motels or hunker down in the RV somewhere?

We leave around 1st week of Dec when we get a window of 3 or 4 days of no snow or freezing rain forecast. Our first night is in the visitor's center in St Stephen, NB. I always check with the chamber of Commerce to make sure it is ok for an over night stay, and we always go to the local pizza shop across the street for a meal. If the town can give us free camping we can shop at their business. In the morning we are a few hundred feet from the border crossing.
St Stephen is about a 6 hour drive from our home , so that is a good enough day's drive on the first day, the second day we stay at a year round open campground in Bellingham Mass, just off the I-495. There is a full hookup, $45.00 with Good Sam. Next day we go as far as Matamoras PA, there is a year round cg easy on and easy off I-84, after that is could be almost anywhere, there a lot of options when you get that far south.
We take our time we don't have to get to Florida in a couple of days, so we never travel after dark, stop early and relax for the evening.
Safe travels, we also camp a lot in PEI in the summer
