Travel days??

We also work around the time of day rather than day of the week.

Avoid rush hour anywhere, wee hours if going by Washington dc (10 pm to 4 am), leave ny for Florida on Friday morning after rush hour, make our visits and stay in welcome center VA.

Many of our favorite destinations necessitate driving through Phoenix. We learned that Sunday morning is a lot more fun than Friday afternoon. :S If we leave Tucson around 0800 that puts us in the center of Phoenix mid morning which even on a week day is fairly doable. Life is timing. :C

Well now, that is real considerate.

We travel when we do for our convenience and to increase campsite availability also.

Are you talking about travel or camping? If travel I try to go on Sunday to avoid rush hour traffic in large cities.

Really, Did you name the days of the week?
How quaint.

I suppose it might be good if it mattered.
I sure doesn't matter to us. :)

We usually leave early on Saturdays because of the necessity of scheduling our trips. Because of a little more freedom in scheduling our last trip we didn't leave until Monday. It was really odd for me and I was messed up knowing what day it was the rest of the week!!

We have been Rving for over 8 years and traveled well over 100K. We rarely are in a hurry and hate "forced marches" where we have to meet a time schedule. In general we echo the comments of KTMFS and Dog Folks as to times of travel. One thing we have not seen mentioned though is that taking the "loop" around large cities no longer seems to save time. Generally its better to just grind through on the shortest freeway. The suburbs have grown up around and past the loops and the loops are just as congested and crowded and a straight shot through, and they are usually longer.
My 2 cents
