Was thinkng of driving from DC to Miami in Nov.
Does this seem do-able?

Why not? What is your concern?

Yes, of course. I'd guess 3 driving days.

Its 1000 miles... two eight hour days...

It's doable but you have to have a good reason to do it...ie staying for in Fla. for the winter and want your car, huge family and can't afford flying, have a pet that you can't take on a plane or train etc. For a short visit, driving really makes very little sense when airfares are so cheap and gasoline is so expensive.

OK, thank you. Just wondering what the heck to do with MY LIFE! HA!

That's a really easy drive once you get out the DC/Richmond metro areas. Just point your car south and hit the gas pedal. Apply the brakes when you hit South Beach.
