Rhode trip
 

Considering a drive from Charlotte,NC to Providence(well,Harrisville actually)Rhode Island this month,never attempted the drive previously,wanted opinions as to wisdom of this choice?No one I personally know has made the trip in recent past so I would like some experienced response(s).Thanks.Looking at the 20th-28th if it makes any difference.

So what's your problem? 95 traffic? Or why would anyone go to Burrillville?

Since you can't read please don't respond.Surely there's a site out there for non-readers with time on their hands...

john, <BR> <BR>I recall last summer there was a post asking a similar question - w/exception I think the drive was from NJ or Manhattan to the Providence area. Try doing a Rhode Island search on this forum - as there were some good driving routes (and I think, alternatives). While the post did not include NC, it did have lots of info on I-95. If I find it, I'll post here; perhaps some of the info will be helpful.

Now John, don't get so testy. <BR>You have an 800 plus or minus drive. It will take 10 to 14hours to get to Harrisville a village in the Town of Burrillville. Most of it on 95. You need to get around Washington, thru New York and New Jersey. It is not a pleasant drive. Lots of traffic. If you can relax and not get into the rage in which you answered my post you will be OK. Yes I have done it. Not my favorite ride.

Hardly a "rage".And why couldn't you just supply your comment as such initially,without the attitude then?Regardless,your input is taken under consideration.Thanks.

john, <BR> <BR>I tried a fodors 'search' but could not reference last summer's post. If you are giving serious consideration to travel from Charlotte to Providence, think you should repost and include I-95. Last summer we drove through NJ to Providence on a Friday, using I-95. It was agony. The traffic early in the day was gridlock. There may be alternative route from NJ to Providence, making your trip faster.

Thanks Elaine.
