We did it last year thinking it would be the best time. Well, they closed all but one lane for road construction. It was bumper to bumper for 2 hours

oh god, awful.

NP. Does it make a difference if you're talking about Saturday morning, versus a weekday morning?

If we are going on a weekday, we leave between 5 and 6. I wouldn't leave later than that.

Completely agree. By 6:30 the traffic can get really heavy. We were awfully surprised last summer to discover this...sigh.

Is it the same for Sunday? Or is it a bit better?

Do you have a couple of Sundays before you go? Maybe pull up Waze and Drive at a couple of different times of the morning and see what the routes and time estimates are. I am the poster 2 up about 6:30 am and that was a weekday. Surprised the heck out of us.

Definitely use Waze. We just went to Hilton Head and used to plan trip based on what time we wanted to get there and it updates based on traffic incidents.

Sundays leaving by 6 am is fine. Just did it this past Sunday. Smooth sailing

Check Google Maps Directions for your route, you can choose start or arrival times and different days of the week and will show you estimated time based on past history.

Follow up: is there a time on Sunday it doesn't suck to drive home? Seems like you're just doomed.
