I played with map quest the other night and I found that it's almost the same going either way from Orlando. By looking at a map it sure looks a lot longer going so far east into S/C before you start heading northwest to Fontana.
John & Shawn, I'll get with you to coordinate our trip up. I'd like to try and leave my house about 7-8 and that should put us up to the 95/16 intersection about noon. About how far are you from that intersection? That should leave us about 6 hour drive up from there.
Dan, We could meet you about 11 someplace on 95 just before the ga line or maybe even at the Ga visitor center, depending on how far you are from there. Savannah should be about an hour from there, right?
