Driving from Vt to Ft. Myers Fl. I81 or I95?
I'm leaving Wednesday from Vermont headed to Fort Myers, Fl. I plan to cut over to NY and take 87 over to 88 and 81 down to Scranton Pa. This way I avoid NY City and all the tolls of the Garden State ...

When we lived in Cambridge, VT we took 15 thru Essex Jct. to 89, 89 to 189 to 7 south down to Vergennes picked up 22A south to 4 and into New York. 22 south out of Whitehall to Ft. Ann and then 149 to 87 south to 90 west to 88. with out doing some back roads around Albany, i never did find a way to avoid the tolls completely. 88 to Binghamton then 81 south to 77 and into Charlotte and on down to Columbia then 26 to 95 south.
We just drove this same route last month, except we stayed on 81 to 40 and into Nashville.
The roads in VT are about the same as they always were. We were going through Ft. Ann area during the weekend and that add about 2 hrs to the travel time because of the traffic.
CG are hard to find between Albany and Binghamton and 88 is very rough in places the further west you get and 81 is not much better. so plan on taking your time. We found that once you are past Harrisburg, PA the roads really improved.
If you are just travilng through SC be ready for some long delays, even though 95 is back opened still a lot of repairs going on from the flooding.
if you stayed on 81 to 75 then south you will have to deal with the traffic around Atlanta.
