Well, this route will certainly get you there, but 501 %26amp; 544 are going to be pretty crowded around 4th of July holiday.

Here%26#39;s an alternate route that I%26#39;m sure would save you some time:

From 95 southbound, take exit 14 (Lumberton) onto 74E.

Turn Right onto 701S

Turn L onto 9(EorS)

Turn R onto 17S (take Bypass) ,

you will then take 31S. This is a new limited access road %26amp; they have just recently completed it the whole way to 544 (will not be on the maps yet)...this stretch alone will save you lots of time. Then take 544E to 17N %26amp; you%26#39;ll be there.

A few more turns %26amp; different Rt. #%26#39;s, but this is the way I%26#39;d go to save time %26amp; avoid traffic.

Have a great vacation
