I-95is such a wild card…….we’re taking the train! We booked our train and hotel
reservations in late May. We figured that once everyone figured out that the
marathon was happening, they would fill up.
On the way back, we’re spending a night in Philly.

Good luck on your travels to NYC. I was visiting my daughter in Brooklyn
while everyone else was having fun at York. Terrible trip up and back on
I-95. Northbound accidents north of Baltimore that detoured everyone through
every small town in MD. That ate up an hour. Southbound accident north of
Fredericksburg that was stop and go, and go was 10 mph at best. That ate up
2 hours, not to mention having to take the beltway around DC. Never again.
I'll go up 301. May take a bit longer with the stop lights in MD, but at
least you're moving and not subject to I-95 hiccups. As a bonus, I stop at
the Costco in Newark, DE, which is just off I-95 to fuel up and save some $
vs. NJ and NY gas prices. As an added bonus, I'll swing through their liquor
store as the prices are much cheaper than VA and no sales tax!
