Nicole said:I drive from Fayetteville NC (which ironically is the halfway point for lots of people) and it takes us anywhere from 8-9 hours. Usually we try to leave home by 8 am which means we're actually on the road by 9, and we get to our hotel between 5 and 6 pm. If I drive by myself with my kids we generally only eat dinner the first night, if my DH is with me to help with the driving we may hit a park if they are having EMH.
Do you ever fly out of Manchester?JMishy said:Driving from Conway, NH to Orlando, FL it's about a 26 hour drive, so it takes us a good two days if we push it, three days if we take it easy. If we wanted to fly, we would first drive three hours to Boston and then take a plane to Orlando. That's about a 4/5 hour straight flight.
I miss the 2 1/2 hour drive from Jacksonville to Orlando.![]()
hcswingfield said:From Birmingham, AL it takes about 9 or 10 hours, depending on traffic getting out of town and how many breaks we take. We avoid the freeway most of the way, finding we make better time on the more scenic state highways through Alabama and Georgia than we do trying to drive through Atlanta and down I-75 through Georgia. We generally get onto I-75 around Valdosta or Tifton, sometimes we take the back roads through west Florida and don't get on the freeway until just above Ocala.

I only ask because I know that Southwest flies out of there, and we can usually get a direct flight at great prices to Orlando from Providence with them.JMishy said:We have flown out of Manchester for other flights, but not to Orlando since they have no direct flights. It takes us about 2+ hours to get to Manchester and then we'd have to have a layover. So, it's easier driving the extra hour to Boston and getting the direct flight. We also have the Portland, Maine option, but that includes a layover too.
LOL! Yes, it's Manchester, NH. The other one is a bit of a drive!disneydude2000 said:Now this is Manchester in US not England right??? :dazzle:
disneydude2000 said:I live in Ashford, Kent, UK. I leave my house about 6 and get a 12 o'clock GMT flight from Gatwick with Travel City Direct. After about a nine hour flight we arrive in Sanford at 5.00pm EST. So about 16 hours door to door (after getting the car keys and the villa keys and driving to either Davenport or Southern Dunes)
Don't flights leave from Bristol to go Florida?
