Here ya go, this is our planned route and target arrival/departure times:

From Atlanta north on I-85 passing through Charlotte, NC and then going north on I-95 passing through Richmond, VA on the way to Millville, NJ. From Atlanta it is about 4 hours to Charlotte and then another 4 hours to Richmond, so it makes sense to start looking for meeting locations in those areas. Time wise it makes sense to plan on meeting in the Charlotte area for breakfast and the Richmond area for lunch.

I know that I would like to be at the hotel between 5 and 6 on Thursday. Back tracking from there we would need to leave Richmond by 1 pm. We arrive in Richmond approx 11 am and get lunch. Need to roll out of Charlotte by 7 am. Arrive in Charlotte at 6 am and get some breakfast. Rolling out of the ATL at 2 am.

Please jump in with suggested meeting locations for the peeps west of Atlanta to join us.

If the all costal route works better for you, then you might want to hook up with Steph:

Then we all go from there up to NJ. Opportunities to do something like this don't come around too often so we should try and make this work the best we can.

Southeast Inland Caravan:

happynole - Joe Schintzius - Atlanta, GA
sr20girl - Kimme Schintzius - Atlanta, GA

Time to start planning this. If you are joining us, please add your name to the list and where you are meeting us. I am going to check out a meeting place for the Atlanta peeps Monday when I am on the I-85 north of 285 side of town. If you are local to one of our other stops (Charlotte or Richmond) please suggest a good meeting location.
