Drive I-95: Exit by Exit from Boston to Miami

It’s not just the birds that head south for the winter, thousand of people do as well.

And if you’ll be driving down I-95 heading to Florida, Drive I-95 is a book that you’ll want to take along with you as a reference.

Written by Stan Posner and Sandra Phillips-Posner Drive I-95 contains diligently charted every exit between Boston and Miami.  All 552 of them.  In 12 states. 

There’s information regarding everything you’ll need for a lengthy car trip, including food options, motels, radar traps, radio stations, 24-hour mechanics, ATM machines, golf courses, places to shop, and maps. 

The Peterbrooke Chocolatier (Jacksonville, Florida) with its sweet, salty and crunchy chocolate popcorn caught my eye, but here are a few others that might catch yours:

Golfers will love the PGA Learning Center in Port St. Lucie, the only PGA facility that is open to the public.  $20 gets you a day of practice putting, chipping, and pitching greens.

Sample the rock shrimp in Dixie Crossroads in Titusville.  At one time these shrimp were passed over because they were too hard to peel.  This is the home of the shell-splitting machine that made peeling easy and introduced this delicacy to the rest of the world.  And boy am I glad they did!

There are just too many great stopping places to list here, so you’ll need to pick it up and discover them for yourself.

In between all these great suggestions are quizzes, trivia, and bits of history that will keep you entertained for the entire drive. . . there and back.

This is a must-have for anyone driving any portion of the I-95 corridor.  It would also make a great gift!

Drive I-95 can be purchased online for $23.95.  An electronic version is also available.
