Re: Maritimers driving to Florida
Hi ,We are from Nova Scotia and always stay in our motorhome when heading south, we usually leave early and go as far as the first welcome center in Mass. or the Walmart by the Fox run mall in N.H..We have never had a problem at either location for overnight stays.Last year we made it as far as the Virginia welcome center on the second day and then took our time getting further south. We carry bottled water and use it till we are far enough south to de-winterize.Hoping to depart Dec 28th weather permitting Greg271Views0likes0CommentsRe: Nova Scotia to Dunedin, Florida
Michelle. We have tried various routes to and from Florida depending on if you want to avoid the bigger cities ,our favorite is a little longer but I believe better as far as traffic goes. Day one we go as far as the Mass. welcome center via the trans Canada through Houlton Maine and down the 95. The highway from N.S. to Maine is four lanes so I feel much safer than the road though Calais.Day two we take the 495 to the 90 then west on the 84 to the 81.This year we made it to the Virginia welcome center and spent the night there. Day three stayed on 81 till the 77 then the 26 which put us on the 95 just north of Charleston,there is a nice koa there so you can de -winterize if you haven`t done so already.Day two was a long day so only do what you feel comfortable with,I went a little farther that day than I usually do.When on the road we stay at truck stops ,Walmarts, rest areas and welcome centers and have never had a problem, just use common sense when picking a spot.

As a fellow Nova Scotian I have made the trip to and from Florida many times.I try to leave with a forecast of three good days,this usually gets me far enough south that I don`t have to worry about ice and snow,that being said I have also run into bad weather and had to modify my travelling plans.Coming back in Feb.could be a little tougher but definitely doable just allow enough time so if weather is an issue you can wait it out.Nine weeks is plenty of time to do this,I only went for four weeks this year and it was well worth it.520Views0likes0Comments
