If memory serves (since I was contemplating this very thing last fall), it's about three 1/2 hours. It's a straight shot on the highway so I imagine it can vary widely depending on traffic.
That's not bad at all (pretty much the same distance I had this weekend going up to Vermont). I was going to take a week off and make several stops on the way down and back (Northampton in MA, outside of Baltimore in MD, State College in PA, Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte, maybe New York City), so adding another leg (and a couple of days on one end of the week off or the other) to the trip doesn't seem too bad an option. I had hoped it would be more of a mid-winter trip, but early May shouldn't be too bad even that far south.
May is nice down South. It's August that'll kill you. Where are you coming from, Frank?

I did the drive from DC to Atlanta back in '91-'92. I remember Charlotte to Atlanta as the easy part because there's very little traffic between Greenville/Spartanburg and the outskirts of Atlanta.
Where are you coming from, Frank?
Salem, MA or there abouts (I may stop for a night in Northampton on my way out).
If it helps for your planning purposes, I've driven to and from Weston quite a bit for holidays, and (barring crazy Thanksgiving traffic) it's pretty consistently 7 hours, which would mean Baltimore would be about 7 for you. Of course, this would assume that you also go about 80 mph on the Pike/84/91 stretch to New Haven.
There's a good sale from LAX on Northwest right now.
So is May 4 solid enough to start requesting vacation time?
The header at the top still reads:
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!
Perhaps a Stompy could update it?
Woo! That makes it official like.
