A Guide To I-95 For The College Bound

(From The Hartford Courant -- By Joann Klimkiewicz)

They take over the roadways right about this time every year, their overstuffed loads of futons and reading lamps
a dead giveaway.

"There's a whole shift of population as students going back to college are moving to different parts of the country,"
says author SANDRA PHILLIPS-POSNER.

From Boston College down to the University of Florida,
a lot of that movement is up and down 1,900 miles of I-95.

It can be unfamiliar territory, especially for families making that first, freshman-year trek.

Where's the best stop for a quick bite and cheap gas?

What about a per-friendly hotel?

Phillips-Posner and her husband, STAN, have the answers all mapped out -- literally.

They're about to release the fourth edition of DRIVE I-95,
an updated exit-by-exit guide of the highway's food offerings, 24 hour gas stations, radar traps and ATM machines.
