Thanks for the map from Newport News! We'll follow your route!
Also, a big thank you to everyone else for debating these questions for me. As always, much valuable insight was gained.
You might consider staying in the historic area of Yorktown at the Grace Episcopal Church hostel. It should be listed on the back of you TransAm map (assuming you are using the ACA route maps). Give them a call, and ride there from the airport. I am not too sure how close the nearest affordable motel is...and one could very well be in a bad traffic area.
I have your journal bookmarked and will be following your progress...have fun!!
My journal from last summer's TransAm is:
