[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leave at 4 a.m., stop for breakfast and then lunch & beach when you arrive. I always do this and never have any traffic. [/quote] This is always our strategy, will be again this year with a Saturday check-in. The way I look at it, either you deal with the inconvenience of packing night before and early bedtimes for the kids, groggy start to the trip, or sit in mind-numbing traffic for hours on end. We leave around 4am, usually have no issues getting to Duck/Corolla (our usual spots) in 5+ hours. Stop for breakfast, have lunch at Awful Arthur's, go to a public beach early afternoon until check-in time. This strategy also gives you another "beach day" rather than first day of vacation spent all about the travel. I also second earlier advice, get to OBX by 10am to miss the bulk of bridge traffic. It's well with the couple hours of sleep you might miss by getting on the road early![/quote]
