Except for the cities along the way, e.g., Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston, you most likely do not need
reservations. There are so many chain motels along I-95 (or
nearby the highway) that you should be able to find a place to
stop. The bigger chains usually offer (continental) breakfast,
and a pool and exercise room. I have had good luck with the
Comfort Inns. Nothing elegant, but clean and comfortable. If
you do not smoke, be sure to ask for a non-smoking room. For the
cities, you could stop on the outskirts and just go into the
city for the day. What you might save on the room, however, you
would probably spend on parking your car in the city.
Washington DC runs about $13-15 per day. Baltimore is most
likely a little less. And Boston and NYC, I would assume, even
more. But keep in mind that during the week, most of those
spaces are taken by workers. Also, around the cities, try to
time your driving for non-rush hour. You might also consider
getting off I-95, taking Rt. 17 or 301, esp. thru Carolina and
Virginia. You won't see much on I-95 except other cars. For
the differences in the USA, you might consider Myrtle Beach
(honky tonk beach town), Savannah (gentile southern),
Norfolk/Virginia BeachJamestown/Williamsburg (more Atlantic
Beach and American history), from there north, you would be
coming to the larger cities. I am also originally from
Baltimore and recommend my home town. Probably can't talk you
into some steamed crabs though! Do check out tht I-95 site; it
is all encompassing. Beth P.S. Yes to Charleston; beautiful,
and different than Savannah.
