I live in the northeast and haven’t stopped going where I please since all this stupidity began, including driving to New Hampshire last week. The roads are clear and we had no problems anywhere along the route, including stopping at restaurants and getting gas. Finding open rest-stops was a challenge, but if you’re ok using a Chick-Fil-A bathroom, you’ll be fine. Hotels are being forced to obey rules about quarantining people from out of state, but if you have a place to stay overnight, you should be fine.
I think you meant your post for the OP.
I’m in TX and NOT traveling to the NE, or anywhere, for Christmas :-)
