Oh DAMN!!! Good to know. I figured jumping on I-4 would be better for my hangover. Sounds like it will make things much worse.

We usually take I-4 from St. Pete to Daytona. We have taken I-75 to 40 and East on 40. We leave St. Pete early in the morning and leave Daytona late in the evening. We usually don’t have a problem with traffic. Unless some idiot makes a big mistake on I-4.

A friend took us one a scenic route one year and it took us about 5 hours to get to Daytona. Never again.

5 hours from St Pete to Daytona doesn't sound unreasonable to me. Of course I enjoy riding so maybe it is just me.
