Checking car brokers for pricing again.
I've only driven to FLA once, and that was Mass to Ft Lauderdale, a really longgggggggggg ride ! Swore I'd never do it again.
Anyone know how long it would take to drive from MA to Tampa ?
I figure I could do it in 2 days, with maybe one overnight stop ?
I think I could get to the N Carolina border the first day.
Thoughts?

I drive from the North Shore to Bradenton, and hour south of Tampa, with our dog. We do it in two days.
I would rather do it in three days, but a second night in a motel with the dog is not something that is appealing to me. For us, it is 1,400 miles and takes 23 or 24 hours. Biggest challenges are DC and NYC. After that, it is a nice ride. Tolls disappear after DC until I get to the Skyway Bridge south of Tampa.
