Answer

Driving from Fairfield County, CT to Boynton Beach, FL over 2 nights and 3 days is very manageable and allows for a relaxed pace with overnight stops. The total driving distance is roughly 1,300 miles, taking around 20–22 hours depending on traffic and chosen route.

Recommended route:

Take I-95 South almost the entire way. This is the most direct route along the East Coast, passing through New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida.
Optional scenic detour: In North Carolina, you can use I-40 through the mountains (if you want a break from highway monotony), but this adds a bit of distance.
Stick to I-95 once in Florida for a smooth ride toward Boynton Beach.

Suggested overnight stops:

Day 1: Washington, D.C. area – About 6–7 hours from Fairfield County. Staying here allows for a comfortable break and optional evening stroll along the National Mall or Georgetown. Hotels near the beltway or Tyson’s Corner can be convenient for quick highway access.
Day 2: Savannah, Georgia – Around 9–10 hours from D.C., this stop breaks up the drive nicely. Savannah offers charming historic streets if you want a brief walk, and plenty of hotels along I-95 for convenience.

Day 3: Drive the remaining 6–7 hours from Savannah to Boynton Beach. Depart early to avoid Miami/Fort Lauderdale area traffic if traveling in late morning or afternoon.

Hotel tips:

Look for highway-adjacent chain hotels like Hilton Garden Inn, Courtyard by Marriott, or Hampton Inn for predictable comfort and amenities.
Booking in advance is recommended, especially in popular cities like Washington, D.C. or Savannah.
Check if hotels offer free parking and breakfast to make overnight stops smoother.

By splitting the journey into roughly 6–7 hours, 9–10 hours, and 6–7 hours, you can comfortably make the trip without excessive fatigue, enjoy brief sightseeing in Savannah or D.C., and arrive in Boynton Beach ready to relax.
