Reply to comment by essaitchthrowaway3 in Moving to CT from FL: Advice please by caimseeker

On the other hand commutes in Florida are farther. Used to take a full 35 minutes to get to high school in FL on I-95. Driving like 75 mph.

CT is only 2 hours wide. Drive from JAX to Miami and thats like 10 hours.

What Floridians don't get is that the Merritt aint like 8-lane I-95. CT driving IS different. Heck CT I-95 isn't like FL I-95. Half the lanes and twice the traffic.

That’s a helpful metaphor. I drive on I75, as opposed to I95, but I get the comparison. You have to drive for hours just to be in the same dang state, so when I look at CT I wonder if there is something deceptive about the drives, because to me it’s like only a couple of Florida counties big.
