We Can Go the Distance. Road Tripping to Disney

There are places where 7.5 hours is a breeze.

And then there’s FL.

Honestly - I think driving from SC to NY is easier than SC to FL.

Shuttle and baggage fees are no joke. And I want to be able to drive directly from my driveway to the park and not have to wait for other people and transportation.

But I am NOT looking forward to the drive home whatsoever.

Oh my. Are you past the hills and curves? That sounds rather scary in the dark with Robert driving :grimacing:. Hope you are stopping for the night soon!

Yep. Actually it’s shockingly easy in TN for 14 year olds to get a hardship license.

Certainly not from Nashville!:joy:

He has a decent amount of interstate driving experience thanks to the drive to and from his school. But an hour was all I could handle. I’m a bit anxious.

We are. I did the mountain driving. But interstate driving in the rain at night was a bit much. And I forgot that he had never driven Lizzy’s car before. :woman_facepalming:

No stopping yet. The night shift nurse just downed a five hour energy and now she is behind the wheel!

$201 Pensacola to Orlando direct on Silver (which I’ve never heard of). $260 on American. Before there were direct flights, I would have to go through Atlanta and spend well over $300… The gas alone would come to $250 (at current prices).

Have a great and safe trip! I will try to follow along, but…who am I kidding? I don’t think I finished the last two trip reports you did :joy:

So to catch up on our road trip. The drive through the mountains of TN was lovely. There was a bit of fog which looked cool. Not the best picture.

We drove into GA only to drive back into TN one mile later. :joy:


I’m jealous of her ability to sleep anywhere.

OMG - you’re doing the whole thing straight through? Well, I guess with 4 drivers and one used to night shifts, it might be possible. But even if someone else drove the whole way, I would go crazy being in a car for that long.

Lizzy’s car didn’t like my driving apparently.


A bit blurry but it says driver attention low. Time for a break. Oops.

That is a great price.

Understandable, especially at night. Glad Lizzy is driving now so you can relax a bit more
