EZPass is the way to go, they are in the process of eliminating all of the Toll Booths. Not sure if you will run into one of the NEW electronic only tolls. If you can figure out a way to get one, I would do it. It saves a bunch of time waiting to pay (you are in a rush, remember), and your toll is at a reduced cost. Win/Win. Also can be used in other states, I used mine in Illinois years ago riding to Sturgis. The will send you one for a motorcycle so you pay that fee, not the cage fee. I think some of the Rest Areas sell them, but I would research that in advance. Good luck.

I do a solo trip of around 5K miles every September and send a daily email to friends and family letting them know how the day went. I'm thinking of starting a thread here and posting my daily updates.

If you must take I95, I would do the bulk of my riding early in the day. I would also avoid any stretch through Connecticut and New York during rush hour, PARTICULARLY on a Friday. That includes any section of I95 feeding into the George Washington Bridge [can we still call it the "George Washington" :-)] from early afternoon through at least 9pm on a Friday. Ride safe and enjoy your trip.

Now lets talk about this ride of yours. Someone else on the Forum did what you are attempting a couple of years ago. There was a very specific route that someone else had devised to minimize mileage while still hitting all 48 states. It was not direct or straight, very zig zag route, but somehow it was the most efficient way to achieve your goal. You should take a look for that map.

That is a better way to do it to avoid NYC. Still tolls though so the EZPass advice holds.
