I for one believe that he was headed North to Baltimore. More than likely to the Branson's, either to hide out there as a lay-over or to take Mary and skedaddle up North to Canada and the safety of the Canadian Cabinet there..... I don't believe that at that time that he had the intention of going home to Florida any time soon.
Yeah, I'm guessing Florida would have been just too far anyway, and perhaps he might have felt some element of shame about facing his family and them finding out what he did.
