So soon I’ll be leaving NY for my internship in Georgia. I originally planned on doing it in 2 trips, but it seems best if I bite the bullet on a hotel and make the drive in 2 days. So I was wondering if there is a hotel finder on route for any map site (google map, yahoo, etc), or if I just have to zoom in and find a hotel midway on my route? Thanks for any help. Nick ---

There are tons of hotels off every exit on 95. Just pull over and check in. ---

When you’re feeling tired, pull over, hop on a smart phone like an iPhone w/ the “Around Me” app and look for a hotel, it’ll tell you what’s close and directions. Also most GPSs have the feature as well. I’d drive as far as possible the first day, then you’ll have more time for once you get there. ---

Its becoming a matter of having to be 1 place on one day but getting to my place and checking in with work on the next day. By leaving early I’m able to visit friends in Jersey (lunch) and Virginia (dinner) who I would have otherwise missed by 1 day. Found a place though, just staying with my peeps in VA. ---
