Have you ever wondered what the quickest driving route to Florida is? Well, if you live in the northeastern United States or in the Canadian province of Ontario, read on! After galore years of exploring the major north-south routes (and driving my wife crazy with noting travel times amongst respective locations) we have determined that the following route gets you to Florida sunshine the fastest.

1/ If you are crossing the Canada/US border or live in northern Ohio or New York, Interstate #90 provides the best connection to Interstate #79, your initial north-south highway on the Fastest Route to Florida. (Remember that I-90 in most of New York State is a toll route)

2/ Take I-90 to Erie Pennsylvania to connect with I-79.

3/ Follow I-79 south through the rolling hills of northern Pennsylvania. One caution, keep watch for deer, I have never seen so a heap of deer (dead or alive) along one stretch of road anyplace else in North America.

4/ There are not numerous mercantile service areas amidst Erie and Pittsburgh, but there are a great deal of clean rest stop areas (about each twenty minutes).

5/ Washington Pennsylvania, just south of Pittsburgh, offers a heap of good accommodation, dining and buying goods venues.

6/ I-70 connects with I-79 at Washington, so if you live along the I-70 corridor you may effortlessly connect with the quickest route to Florida.

7/ Continuing southward, it is not long before you enter the State of West Virginia. If you are a college football fan, the University of West Virginia football stadium may be seen in the distance to the east as you pass through Morgantown.

8/ As you approach Charleston, I-79 ends and you connect with I-77. (You could take I-77 all the way from I-90, just outside of Cleveland, Ohio, but we like the scenery of I-79 and it is a more immediate route.)

9/ Your route takes you right through Charleston, and though we have never expended much time in the area, the mix of southern architecture and innovative structures provides for interesting scenery.

10/ Leaving Charleston, the mountains and valleys seem to engulf you as you make your way towards your destination, Englewood Florida.

11/ About an hour after leaving Charleston, you will reach Beckley. This town is known for it is coal mining (if time is available check out the coal mining museum.) At each of the exits in the Beckley area you will find accommodations, feed and fuel readily available.

12/ If you get enjoyment from mountainous scenery, the next couple of hours will delight you! I-77 twists and turns through the mountains of West Virginia, then as you pass through a tunnel the panorama of the mountains of the State of Virginia in a literal sense explodes through your windshield as you exit from the tunnel.

13/ After passing through Wytheville with it is a lot of venues for food, fuel and accommodation, you will soon be in North Carolina.

14/ The State of North Carolina makes an evenly dramatic entrance. As you pass by an exit announcing Fancy Gap, the highway begins a decent down the mountains. The view is spectacular, but the a great deal of run-away truck ramps serve as an ominous warning that the steepness of the hill may cause trucks to have trouble stopping.

15/ At the bottom of the hill, a finelooking rest area provides a outstanding picnic location, or just a spot to take a leisurely stroll amongst the well-manicured gardens.

16/ I-77 proceeds on through Charlotte, North Carolina and on to Columbia, South Carolina. One of our bestloved moments occurs as we enter the South Carolina Welcome Center. At the entrance we see our initial palm tree, proof that Florida and Englewood are not far away.

17/ A short distance from Columbia we connect with I-95 and proceed southward, passing Savannah and then Brunswick until we reach the Florida Welcome Center.

18/ A few minutes south of Jacksonville is one of my favored stops along the World Golf Village. Besides the outstanding golf atmosphere at the shops and restaurants in the village, there is the World Golf Hall of Fame. Believe me, it is worth the visit!

19/ Continuing down I-95, we arrive at Daytona (try not to travel through this area around the time of any racing event, particularly the Daytona 500, the traffic is crazy. But if you are a car racing fan, go for it!), where we connect with I-4.

20/ I-4 goes through Orlando (try to stay clear from weekday rush hours). You might want to plan a few days at any of the major theme parks in the area.

21/ Just east of Tampa take I-75 southbound.

22/ About an hour later, take the River Road exit and in 10-15 minutes you will be in Englewood Florida.

LET YOUR WINTER VACATION BEGIN! You may now genuinely forget in regards to the cold weather and snow and just Enjoy Englewood Florida!

Review“This is a very timely collection.  The issue of ‘colonial knowledge’ has been at the forefront of the study of South Asia for more than a decade.  However, the paradigms in the first place informing it have become progressively frayed, and the argues surrounding it ever more tired. This book offers to re-invigorate the issues and to take inquiries in more profitable directions.”—David Washbrook, Fellow, History, Trinity College, Cambridge
