[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15:16 here. The 301 route and some shunpiking in Christiana in DE to avoid the tolls will save you time when there is traffic and you'd otherwise be sitting. If you do this drive a lot, you're familiar with it, but think of driving all the way to NJ at 25 mph with occasional periods of parking on the highway. That's what the thanksgiving drive can be!

How far north in NJ do you go? A noon departure sounds risky and late to me, but we go very far north and then sit on the Parkway for a while before we sit on the Turnpike. And sit at the DelMemBr. And sit in Maryland.

Having two adults in the car and a working GPS on your phone will be a lifesaver. I only take the alternate routes when there is significant traffic on the usual routes and the alternates will save us more than 30 minutes. In some cases, they've saved us hours.

Good luck and let us know how it goes! Hope you have smooth sailing.[/quote]

I'm ok with tolls and have an EZPass so I can avoid some of the toll plaza traffic.  I don't think I go as far north as you...I don't have to handle the parkway...just the turnpike.  I get off in central Jersey.  Don't get me wrong, we sit in NJ, DE and MD too! :)[/quote]
