Drive carefully - may want to bypass Washington via 295. I have done the I-95 drive south and back a few times....learned from experience.

Hopefully I`ll get to meet you in Magog - I will only be there on Saturday - have to do my part for the Guinness world record I read we need 516 to beat the number recorded in Cuba.

Hi Effgjamis

Any Spyder Lover from Florida willing to undertake such a trip , especially a 78 yr old rider , I would like to meet .

I'm only a couple of hours from Sherbrooke and would also be able to get there on Saturday .

It would also give me an opportunity to meet Monique as well .

Have a safe trip and keep us posted of any changes

I've spent years driving from Florida to PA to visit my Father. The route I prefer around DC and Baltimore is to get on 301 in VA near Fort AP Hill, and stay on it till near Wilmington DE. Lot of small towns and you have to watch your speed, but it flows very well, unlike 95 through DC and Baltimore.

Looks like you're going to have a great trip - wish I had the time.

Well... hopefully the passport is on its way... will know for sure come Monday.
AND THEN..
start packing, pacing the floor, doing some leg and butt exercise. Getting out the camel back and make sure it is working and not contaminated.
Oh well, I am getting excited, and wish more from Flordia will join Doc and myself for the ride.

D.C. Traffic

Instead of 295 around DC, get off on 301 north of Richmond and you bypass that mess and end up back at 95 near Baltimore. A much easier ryde and less traffic
